State to Pay fee to advocate

(12-02-2024 Recorded proceedings )

 

The Supreme Court has asked the State of Uttar Pradesh to ensure that the advocates representing the State Government are not forced to file petitions in Courts to recover the fees due to them. “We hope and trust that the State will not create a situation, where an Advocate representing the State is required to approach the Court for recovery of his fees. If this scenario of creating a situation where the Advocate is compelled to approach the Court of law to recover fees from the State of Uttar continues, it will discourage the talented Members of the Bar from appearing for the State of Uttar Pradesh,” observed a bench comprising Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan.

“We, therefore, hope and trust that a proper and rational policy is effectively implemented so that the fees of the Advocates representing the State will be paid promptly and within a reasonable time,” the Court said.
