Very balanced thoughts, dhakarn. Pratigya's actions r fully justified n her resolve to side with the truth is commendable. It's funny to see criticism of Pratz where there might be appreciation. May be the jealousy of ASY is driving people mad & is the reason behind recent Pratz-bashing. But why this hatred toward ASY???? May be some people view his exceptional charm as a threat to kriya. This is the whole nine yard of the ongoing Pratigya-bashing philosophy. Isn't it immature or even insane to think ASY-P getting involved in any immoral way?
About ASY's act of taking up a case against Krishna, one can only say that he was morally wrong. But to label it a crime is a ridiculous exaggeration. We know that thousands of murder cases r decided in our courts everyday...a I don't know a single case where the lawyer was punished for pleading on behalf of the murderer. A lawyer is free to plead for his client eventhough he is proved guilty later on. So ASY did not commit any technical error in fighting the case against Krishna. But I agree that it was his unethical act & as u pointed out Pratigya had questioned, lectured n even challenged ASY on this matter.
A lawyer is indeed allowed to represent and defend anyone he or she decides to - and indeed to enter a plea on behalf ofa murderer.
However a lawyer has the higher duty which is to the court and to ensure it is not misled in any way
Up to the point ASY didnt know whether or not K really was the killer - he was fine
But at the point he knew beyond reasonable doubt K wasnt the killer he breached his duty to the court and was ready to mislead it by continuing to defend a killer
If the court became aware of this fact they would have hauled ASY's ass and disciplined him - possibly even struck him off or banged him into the cells for joining hands with a killer and prosecuting someone he knew was innocent.
So it was totally unethical, unprofessional and potentially punishable by incarceration if the court felt it had been mislead
isnt incarceration following a wrongdoing a crime then?
By the way - lawyers do indeed represent hardened criminals and killers - but the majority will never put their livlihoods or their licences at risk for them.
