Role and responsibilities of lawyers
Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court Justice Arun Bhansali said, ‘White shirt, black coat and gown are not just a uniform, but a belief.’ He urged the lawyers to explain the legal proceedings in simple language so that the client can understand it easily.

He also said that a member of the Awadh Bar became the first Attorney General of Pakistan and his son later became the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

Gaurav bhatia on cji’s statement: Chief Justice of India (CJI) B.K. R. Gawai recently said during an event held at Mauritius that the Indian judicial system is not operated by the rule of bulldozers, but from the rule of law.

Gaurav Bhatia said, ‘India’s judiciary has strengthened with foresight with the cooperation of the government in the last 11 years. He said that India runs under the Constitution and Law. The faith of the Chief Justice is in the constitution and the faith of Indian citizens is also in the constitution. It is also true that India is a country where democracy is strong.

Gawai said that the Supreme Court of India has always been strengthening the “rule of law” and he also mentioned many historical decisions for this.
