HC Warns Against Private Citizens Representing Litigants in Court

HC Warns Against Private Citizens Representing Litigants in Court

The Punjab and Haryana High Court said it's not okay for regular people to represent others in court.

They believe it's risky because these people aren't trained like lawyers.

Lawyers have to follow rules and can be held responsible for their actions.

The court was dealing with a case where a person wanted to represent someone else, but the court said no.

They explained that the person in trouble needed a real lawyer who knows the law.

The court is now helping the person get a lawyer to file a new request for bail.
