🍁Once upon a time, there was an advocate who had shifted to Gujarat from Pune…

From very first day, he declared that he will not accept any fee which is more than the standard fee of advocates, prescribed in the Advocates fee Act.

He was a man who used to live by principles. He had set high standards of ethics for himself. His lifestyle was simple.

His law practice grew very fast. Since his standards of fees were only as per fees prescribed in Advocate Fee Act, his name was soon approved on panel of banks, cooperative societies, govt bodies, insurance company panels, govt panels etc.

Soon he had no derth of work. His legal practice flourished by day and by night.

He was elected President of the Bar by advocates of local Bar. He was then continuously elected President of Bar, year after years for many many years.

Presently, he is not among us but his son and grandsons are in legal practice

I have not mentioned his name and place of practice because his son, who is one of my briefing advocates, is yet not prepared to reveal his name.🍁

The point I wish to make out is :

💞 In legal profession too, there has been many “Men of Principle”….. Even today, there may be many many such “Men of Principles” in our legal profession. But no one tells us their stories. So we never know about them 😔
