A letter on behalf of young lawyers to Hon'ble Law Minister Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal.

Request to amend Advocates Fees Act to guarantee MINIMUM WAGES to young lawyers having practice of less than 2 Years.

Hon'ble Sir,

I live on an imaginary faith that all Glorious and Strong Persons are Parts of God. I believe that if any man expresses his wishes before such a person, his wishes are fulfilled by God as per nature and strength of that person.

Since you are a Glorious and Strong Person, I humbly express my wishes as under.

Young lawyers having less than 2 years practice find it very difficult to get clients and unless they are coming from affluent families, they have to starve. This convention in the legal fraternity,  also prevents them from settling in marriage.

They do a lot of legwork for their Seniors, but they are paid less than minimum wages which are prescribed for skilled workers.

Most of these young people love BJP and Shri Narendra Modiji.

I wonder if you have any friends in the Law Ministry who can examine if Advocates Fees Act can be amended to assure payment of minimum wages.

I have no other strong friends in India except you. I think that there is no one else in India who can take interest in this matter.

Thanking you,

Yours Humbly

Haresh A Raichura
Advocate (Who was a starving young lawyer between 1982 to 1986)

(Suggestion to young lawyers : If you feel so, you too can copy, paste, email, post this or similar letter, under your signature,  to Hon'ble Law Minister. You can also request your WhatsApp Group friends to do the same. We need to come together to reform the system.
