Lawyers Should Be Bold


May be, it was around 1944.

The place was Bombay High Court.

There was a special parking place for Chief Justice of Bombay High Court. The car parking was reserved from Chief Justice.

One day a lawyer named K.L.Gauba, came early and parked his car at the very parking place which was reserved for Chief Justice.

He refused to move his car when Chief Justice's Car came. 

He said show me the Rules that this place was reserved for Chief Justice.

There were no such Rules till that day.

His car stayed on the ground.

That day, the committee of Judges sat and framed rules for Judges' Parking Place at High Court.

Consider, boldness and clearness of the Lawyer. 

This is Called Rule of Law. 

You should ask to see rules whenever, some one asks you to do something by force.

The only force YOU ARE BOUND TO OBEY is Rule of Law.
