Law says that litigants are uentitled to be defended by an advocate of their choice.
The right is denied to poor because sometimes they cannot afford fees of lawyers.
They are directed to accept an advocate assigned by Legal Aid Committees or by Amicus Curie advocates appointed by courts.
Now if the poor loses their case, a feeling of hurt remains in their heart that, they could not engage an advocate of their choice.
Their right stands violated.
When Corporate Bodies, or Govt Bodies approach superior courts where courts have to summon to poor people, such orders should also ask Companies or Government Bodies to deposit something so that a poor can engage a lawyer of his choice.
