► My Advocate who dealt with my case for obtaining a Legal heir Certificate from a Civil Court for a property, purchased 1/2 (50%) of the undivided share of the same property from my brother, while the remaining 50% is owned by me.
Whether it attracts the following provision,
the Rule No.22 and 22A of Standards of Professional (Chapter II, Part VI of the BCI Rules)?
(Rule No.22 prescribes that, “An advocate shall not directly or indirectly bid for or purchase, either in his own name or in any other name, for his own benefit or for the benefit of any other person, any property sold in the execution of a decree or order in any suit, appeal or other proceeding in which he was in any way professionally engaged. This prohibition, however, does not prevent an advocate from bidding for or purchase, provided the Advocate is expressly authorised in writing in this behalf.” And Rule No.22A prescribes that, “An Advocate shall not directly or indirectly bid in court auction or acquire by way of sale, gift, exchange or any other mode of transfer either in his own name or in any other name any property which is subject matter of any suit, appeal or other proceedings in which he is in any way professionally engaged”).
The case is already filed in the State Bar Council.
