CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY??

ms. archana, - absolutely correct.

due to that reason, they ware black gown and coat..

I saw two types of pants they were,  black and another is striped black.

i heard that black gown is compulsary for appearing before the court.

so far i understood, this dress code came as heritage from british rulers to us.

from supreme court to munsef court all these established at british time.

previously some more formalities were maintained which now not followed.

every place where discipline is prime considaretion, dress code is there, like police military etc.

it is not only your question many people asks this question, several times even in this web site also.

i also asked my hc adv the same question. he replied as adv archana wrote.

Black colour is a neutral colour and no other colour effect on it.

It is a sign that the advocate should be a neutral person

- it is your interpretation only. however this interpritation is nice and appropriate.

 

complain about the climatic conditions - yes it is there, but very minor. in april they allowed to appear in court in plain dress.

mr sashikumar,

"Can you tell me why you have been given two eyes two hands even one each will be sufficient."

 - the ans is - not we, but our forefathers strugle with the nature and achieved these two eyes and hands. one was insufficient and three was more. That's why it is - two.

"There will be different opinion if any dress code is prescribed. The dress code is just a way to declare that the person is a part of legal system ."

There is no scope of difference of opinion. i have not seen the adv act, but my adv and adv archana told the same thing.

Adv archana answers the straight and appropriate. Is it not ?

This dress code is inherited by  Britishers and a symbol  of SLAVERY,

It is completely inconvenient  in Indian atmosphere.  It is not an Indian Tradition .  Our Nyaymurties used to wear different  dresses.  Since  uniform of Doctor denotes  assuring personality    Advocate's uniforms  reminds you of CUNNING personality.  Sorry Friends, but it's a FACT.  

 

Anyway,  please go thru this case on this topic
