INCREDIBLE IN INDIA Law Makers do not need to have a degree of law. Only for lawyers and judges, it is compulsory to pass a law college. No doubt, we have messed up everything. #Lawyers #lawtwitter
2/ New Laws are required NOT REQUIRED to be cleared by any Judicial Committee to examine how many more judges and staff will be needed to deal with cases under new proposed law.
3/ Finance Minister is NOT REQUIRED to provide budget for salaries of judges who may be required to deal with new litigation arising from new law. #lawyers
4/ The governments of various States have no dedicated police force to provide protection to judges and lawyers who may have to deal with mighty criminals.
5/ Lawyers and Judges are very silent when they have to speak about their own rights. They are vocal about everything else.
6/ Self Regulatory mechanism exists for lawyers but for judges, no such self regulatory body is seen.
7/ Political parties see no vote banks of litigants, lawyers or Judges. So no political party have any plans to improve legal system in India.
8/ Judges are from lawyers. But they do not take much interest in problems of lawyers. They consider such problem as ‘their problems’. They prefer to keep distance from lawyers and their issues of self regulation.
9/ Young lawyers want to improve the legal system but neither they have resources nor they have knowledge as to how to go about it.
10/ If I were a young lawyer today, I would have written to Chief Justices of Supreme Courts of various countries of world. I would have wrote that I have no strong friends except them. And then I would have requested them to help us in improving legal system in India #lawtwitter

Thread : Some Reasons on why Anticipatory Bail, even without copy of FIR, ought to be granted to those who fear arrest for some social media post, posted or shared by them.

1) It is possible for courts to grant anticipatory bail to any law abiding person under Sec.438 of CrPC
2) The meaning of Anticipatory bail is simply this, the police should not arrest, but should get some personal bond from accused that he/she will co-operate with investigation.
3/ The grant of an anticipatory bail order, instantly frees the accused from fear arrest and torture by police of different States. It frees him/her from fears of custodial deaths or ill treatment in police station.

1/ भारत में कानूनी पेशे की वास्तविकता के साथ बैठक।

जून 1982 का दिन था। कोर्ट में मेरा पहला दिन था। मैं कोर्ट की कार्यवाही देखने के लिए चीफ ज्यूडिशियल मजिस्ट्रेट कोर्ट गया था।

स्वतंत्रता दिवस के बाद से गुजरात में निषेध कानून है।

नशे में पाए गए गरीबों को गिरफ्तार
2/ कर लिया गया है और उन पर अदालत में मुकदमा चलाया जा रहा है।

पूरे कोर्ट रूम में भीड़ थी और हवा में शराब की तेज गंध आ रही थी।

बचाव पक्ष के वकील भी पूरी तरह से नशे में थे।

जब भी वह जज को सबमिशन दे रहा था, उसके मुंह से शराब की गंध निकल रही थी।

न्यायाधीश पूरी तरह से मामले
3/ पर ध्यान केंद्रित कर रहा था। उन्होंने इस बात को नज़रअंदाज़ करना चुना कि बचाव पक्ष के वकील भी पूरी तरह से नशे में थे और उन्हें जेल भेजा जा सकता था.. न्यायाधीश ने बस गंध को नजरअंदाज कर दिया।

कोर्ट में यह मेरा पहला दिन था। मैंने सीखा है कि इस कानूनी पेशे में, हमारा पहला

1/ Meeting with REALITY of Legal Profession in India.

It was June 1982. My first day in court. I went in Chief Judicial Magistrate Court to see court proceedings.

There is Prohibition Law in Gujarat since Independance Day.

The poor, who were found drunk are arrested and
2/ are being tried in court of law.

The whole courtroom was crowded and there was a strong smell of alcohol in the air.

The defense counsel was also fully drunk.

Alcohol Smell was coming out from his mouth every time he was making submissions to Judge.
3/ The Judge was fully focused on the case on hand. He chose to ignore that defense counsel was also fully drunk and he was liable to be sent to jail.. The Judge simply ignored the smell.

This was my first day in court. I learned that in this legal profession,

Thread for For Law Students and Young Lawyers: I am in legal profession since 40 years. I have learned three things.

1) Columbus set out on a long voyage to discover India. But in realty he landed on shores of America. Life is like that. We may have ambition to
2/ reach at one destination. But we may end up reaching at a different destination.

2) Life is like a long web series which has many seasons and many episodes. In each episode reach at one destination. But we may end up reaching at a different destination.
3/ 2) Life is like a long web series which has many seasons and many episodes. In each episode we solve one problem and then a cliff hanger for next episode appears. Thus we keep moving from one episode to next. We are the main character in this series.

Thread for Doctors (a thread to be updated time to time)

I will write here about,
What doctors can do to protect themselves, against complaints under SC/ST Act, complaints in police for medical negligence, complaints for medical negligence in

#Doctors #MedTwitter #India
2/ police station, complaints filed in criminal courts, summons by court to private doctors to appear as a witness with medical record of a patient, cases in civil court for damages, steps a doctor can take if he perceives threats from a patient, etc.

3/ First basic principles : An error in diagnosis (or Judgement) is not by itself a negligence. If a patient dies during an operation or immediately after surgery, is by itself not a medical negligence.
