I quite fail to see how does refusal on the part of a morally scrupulous lawyer or a band of them could affect the legal proceedings against an accused person. It is not a must to go for the services of a lawyer and courts do grant permission to an accused to plead for oneself. Besides there is provision for legal aid for those who can not afford the services of a lawyer. The instances of courts appointing amicus curiae are too common and many to assist the court in such cased. From my own personal knowledge I know of so many cases where a few lawyers who initially accepted briefs of shady cases just to recuse themselves on moral grounds subsequently. Anyway we seem to be straying a bit from the relevant theme that Shampa's pointed question has raised. However obdurately we theorize, it can not hide the glaring fact in India that justice is bought with the greed of a few lawyers. It could be a subject matter for research that there are fewer convictions of high-profile case because of involvement of these so-called legal eagles who would go to any length to save their clients for material considerations. What distresses me is the fact that some leading lights in this business are more prone to throwing all moral aspects into the air than their less exalted conterparts in lower courts. Recently a bank manager of PSU bank committed a gory murder of his illicit lover and her little child.After committing this heinous act he chopped their bodies into pieces, bought a few jumbo suitcases to pack them, finally to drop them into the Hooghly river. He was caught by the fellow boat- passengers who handed them over to the police. The entire body of lawyers of Serampore court rose against this out moral revulsion and decided not to appear for him. Did they commit anything wrong? The said bank manager is aged above fifty and married with two college-going son and daughter and had an impeccable record as a gentleman in the locality!

bhuyali saroj wrote: I am sorry sir but I haven't understand the meaning fatwah what does it mean sir does it mean dishonourable to ones community or religion Who is sir ? anyway ,  the word "fatwa" actually means- It is an Arabic word, and it literally means "opinion".People often hear that a Muslim cleric or scholar has issued a "fatwa". In some cases, this word has been associated with very negative things, such as a death sentence on a person or a severe punishment.

Fatwah means a legal opinion or ruling issued by an Islamic scholar; By the by if you don't have any idea of the subject,  better don't attempt to respond. The meaning of Fatwa can be found in any online dictionary. Sorry for saying this. Now you can answer the thread.

@ Shampa Sadhya, Sorry I spelt your name wrongly. In the eyes of the law all accused are innocent till proved guilty. Even a terrorist who is caught red handed is provided legal assistance to put forward his point as the law does not want to punish an innocent even if a guilty may walk free. Lawyers are not to be blamed. They are doing their duty and earning their livelihood.

But super computer  can predict death almost accurately, Anyhow, the Researchers say that some more studies are to be carried out to prove Super computer's claims. Till then let's all wait.
