Mangaluru, May 1: Calling advocates an instrument of social engineering, Justice S Abdul Nazeer, Judge, High Court of Karnataka said that advocates should carefully follow the “manner and conduct”.
Speaking at the Regional Advocates' Conference 2016 organised by the Mangalore Bar Association here on Saturday, he called upon the law professionals to uphold justice from their home level.
“Advocates are cream of society. They even participated in the freedom struggle. They played a pivotal role in maintaining peace in society. They are pace makers of society,” he said.
He said the advocates should uphold the interest of their clients. They are rendering skills by enrolling themselves with the Legal Services Authority to serve the needy in the country. Advocacy is a responsible profession, Justice Nazeer said.
High Court and District Administrative Judge Justice AN Venugopal Gowda said advocates should have knowledge of all issues to provide justice to clients.
“Though specialisation in law is becoming popular in the recent years, the advocates should have knowledge in all fields,” he said.
“Leadership qualities in advocates are on the decline in recent years. The advocates played a vital role in the freedom movement. The advocates have a social responsibility. The governments spend a huge amount of money to construct courts and provide basic facilities to the courts for the advocates to start their service to the society. Hence, the advocates have a greater social responsibility,” he remarked.
Chairman of Backward Classes Commission of Andhra Pradesh Justice K L Manjunath, Advocate General of Karnataka Madhusudan R Naik, District and Sessions Judge Uma M G and others were present. SP Chengappa, president, Mangalore Bar Association, the host of the regional conference, welcomed those present in the gathering.
Mangaluru, Jan 20: A teenage girl drowned after a boat in which she was traveling in capsized in the river Netravati at Uliya Hoige, Ullal, police said on Monday.

Prophet Muhammed Pbuh asked with the companions : Do U know who is the one who is BANKRUPT?
They said : The BANKRUPT is the ONE who has NO MONEY and NO POSSESSIONS.
Prophet muhammad pbuh said : Among my UMMAH, the ONE who is BANKRUPT is the one who will come on the DaY of Resurrection with PRAYER, Fasting and Zakah (to his credit), But he will come having insulted this one, slandered that one, consumed the Wealth of so & so, shed the blood of so & so and beaten so & so.
So they will all be given some of his hasanaat (the good he did) and when his hasanaat run out, before judgement is passed, some of their sins will be taken and cast onto Him, then he will be cast into the Fire.
Stop oppressing other people... A day will come to face our CREATOR, who created me, YOU and all that exist in this earth.
