Browing through the autobiography of Justice M.C. Chagla - Roses in December - we came across his views on the legal professionals. The words, which form the backdrop and fulcrum of the duty of Advocates, in our view are a must read for each and every professional in the field. So that we do not miss out in any part of it, each word being of vitality, we reproduce the relevant part the way it appears in his autobiography.
J. Chagla needs no introduction to the legal fraternity. He was one of the most admired and known judges of the Bombay High Court who retired as its Chief Justice refusing to be elevated as a judge of the Supreme Court. We only hope that the legal fraternity will gracefully recount his immortal words.
