Do you know that there are about 2000 cases in India in which Lawyers are facing murder charges? - said a Judge

Some months ago, during course of hearing a criminal appeal in Supreme Court, in which some lawyer was convicted on murder charge, the Judge said,

"Do you know there are about 2000 cases across India in which lawyers are charged with murder and trials are pending? We wonder why there is no criticism about this in media."

The issue is really serious. It is about the ethics of legal profession and how far they have deteriorated.
