Murders of advocates in early years.
A) An Advocate was found dead in his bed.Accrding to police he was depressed and he had consumed poison.
Story in Bar rooms was different. The Advocate was taking cases of only "Wife fighting against Husbands."
Advocate was young. Sometimes he used to flirt with his beautiful clients. One husband got angry and gave "Supari" to kill him. Police took a False FIR from that husband. No one could save him.
2) A public prosecutor was prosecuting terrorists. He asked for armed police protection. It was given.
And yet he was killed in Court premises in presence of his guards.
Since no lawyer was ready to defend the killers, the case was transferred to other State. His brother told me that no one tried to ensure conviction of those accused.
C) A PIL lawyer used to file PILs against companies. He was found dead in his office. Another PIL Activist was run over by speeding car.
John Grisham, famous for his novels on legal profession, once wrote, "Every lawyer once in his life time steers away from main road. If he can find his way back to road, it is God' Grace."
Law reform is needed for protection and compensation to Lawyers who die due to occupational hazards They must be provided security at top priority level.
