Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court emphasized the critical role of advocates in the justice delivery system, asserting that strikes by lawyers disrupt the judicial process and hinder access to justice for litigants. The Court highlighted that the legal profession is service-oriented and governed by the Advocates Act, which imposes obligations on lawyers to maintain trust and confidence with their clients. The judgment reiterates that the relationship between lawyers and clients is not merely contractual but also a duty to uphold the rule of law, thereby holding that strikes by advocates are unwarranted and detrimental to the justice system.
