Advocates Condemn ED Summons to Senior Lawyer
A group of lawyers is upset with the ED, a government agency.
The ED asked a senior lawyer, Arvind Datar, questions about his work.
The lawyers believe the ED is going too far and could make lawyers afraid to do their job, which helps everyone get a fair shake in the court.
Even though the ED withdrew the request, the lawyers are still worried that their jobs are being interfered with.
This is because they think the ED is overstepping its bounds.
SCAORA condemned the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) summons to Senior Advocate Arvind Datar.
The summons related to Datar's legal opinion for Care Health Insurance.
The ED later retracted the summons.
SCAORA called the ED's action an overreach of power.
SCAORA believes the action threatens the independence of the legal profession and judiciary.
