Indian media is anyways nitpick and trying to add masala rather than looking at a different perspective. <br /><br />Adding the example of Rafa Benitez here. He took up Chelsea job last season, he didn't love the club, the fans hated him always. But he had to do what he had to do. Sometimes even his good tactics were ridiculed.

You can't say no when you're appointed by the Court. But does that mean he has to lie and defend the criminal? Does defending become so much more important that lying is okay? If there were some morals left in the people who made all those statements, their main aim would have been to bring out the truth or in some cases(like Kasab's) show that what was seen on the television was in fact true. As a lawyer, I don't think you would be taught that defending your client is the most important thing. Is it like that?<br /><br />Also the statement "They are inhuman so that they can save you when you need to be saved." is very concerning. Why should anyone be saved if they are wrong? It doesn't make sense. People decide for themselves, make their own principles and stuff. That's fine. But, saying that by doing what they are doing, they are actually doing their job certainly shouldn't be right. How can that be part of their job? It's plain wrong.

If a patient dies at the operating table and the surgeon is sorry/upset, then he will never perform another operation in his life. Same way for the lawyers too. They get paid. They do their jobs to their best. That is it.<br /><br />I do not know about India. In USA, lawyers do “pro bono” work on famous cases just to get publicity. Unknown lawyers become famous if they win an “impossible” case. Remember the famous “Twinkie Defense”. Here it is for the benefit of all your readers:<br /><br />http://www.snopes.com/legal/twinkie.aspSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255018926328134115.post-51106737057963317532013-09-19T17:29:55.556+05:302013-09-19T17:29:55.556+05:30I understand your stand, Neha, as a lawyer.

But, the likes of Ram Jethmalani, A P Singh and ML Sharma reeks of conservatism and should be punished. I wonder why no actions been taken against them as I see no relations between legal arguments and reason.<br />Thanks for reading my comments.<br />VishalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255018926328134115.post-65439950051176844072013-09-19T15:39:48.577+05:302013-09-19T15:39:48.577+05:30Mahendra, you are talking about him becoming a hat...Mahendra, you are talking about him becoming a hated figure for educated mass, for most Indians, it was a valid argument.

Point is, we don't know whether or not it's a general practice to give out such outrageous statements and arguments. People forget what they argued. They just remember the lawyer.

Lets take A P Singh , he had become famous from the time he took the case and for large section of masses - a hated figure... mentioning of stupid thoughts before the judge had only weakened his case.. In spite of using the circumstantial evidences, these 15th century beliefs had put an iota of suspicion over his thought process. If we say they are just doing this for the sake of RKM ( roti-kapda-makaan)and get away easily than no one in the world is to blame over her/his conduct, Netas-officers-criminals all are justified. But when we put a social responsibility aspect than these lawyers along with all citizens too have to answer the society for their conduct. As you have mentioned that a lawyer has to take cases even of dreaded terrorists like afzal guru and kasab but the reason for that is natural justice that is incorporated in law system. mahendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11464257106795581951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255018926328134115.post-47209834581532709162013-09-19T08:03:20.418+05:302013-09-19T08:03:20.418+05:30Interesting.

Agreed that somebody has to defend a criminal, but the same can be done without saying such ridiculous things too. Will AP Singh get more cases after what he said in the media? I mean, who will trust him to defend them?Shilpa Garghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016927627801620377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255018926328134115.post-38794006678854269452013-09-19T03:06:07.633+05:302013-09-19T03:06:07.633+05:30Azad, welcome here.

And a lawyer cannot refuse to take it up. Further he has to defend the terrorist like anyone else he would defend in his capacity. <br /><br />You cannot possibly hate him for following the court order and constitutional provisions. It's his duty.

Newbie to your blog. Very well written indeed....Hi,<br />Newbie to your blog. Very well written indeed.<br />I always wanted to know why lawyers took up a terrorist's case. Your argument is based on their professionalism and the perks which come with it. <br />Yes, I do agree with it. Also the fact that when a doctor is not condemned for saving a criminal, why is a lawyer condemned. Interesting.<br />Let's leave alone media and what it feeds us for a moment.<br />I, for one believe, we are selfish people. Like a lawyer aims at the inherent benefits of taking up a case, people have their own agenda too. Society, out of its personal greed for safety, almost always opposes people defending terrorists, rapists or murderers because it has a direct impact on it. <br />And frankly, I wouldn't like to live in a society which does not have the collective conscience to oppose people who take up the case of a Kasab or a Afzal guru.Azadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17435327209630053956noreply@blogger.com
