In a country where the Judiciary System is regarded as the last hope for the common man, the very agents meant to help citizens navigate this complex system—advocates—have increasingly become obstacles to justice.
A recent real-life case has exposed the alarming extent to which some advocates exploit their clients, not just for money but for power, delay tactics, and manipulation.
In this case, a man had been living with his wife for five years and had two children with her. Yet a legal case was filed—interestingly, not by the wife but by her mother. The man hired an advocate, trusting the legal process. Over time, he was made to pay a staggering Rs. 5,0000 /- in the name of legal procedures of court. The advocate allegedly demanded Rs.2000 to Rs. 3000 for every court appearance and a further Rs. 5000 to Rs. 6000 on each date, claiming it was for “court staff” to move things along.
But the truth surfaced only when a relative of court’s staff learned the real story. The entire narrative unravelled. The advocate had not been pushing the case forward as promised. It was a clear case of manipulation, delay, and extortion. Now, only after being exposed, the advocate is ready to produce witnesses and proceed.
This is not an isolated incident. It’s a symptom of a decaying legal aid system that thrives on delay, complexity, and desperation. One of the most disturbing aspects is that many lawyers don’t even give receipts for their hefty fees, which makes tracing corruption and abuse nearly impossible.
Judiciary System Hijacked by Advocates?
Advocates were originally intended to be the bridge between the common man and the law—a support system to guide people through the intricacies of legal justice. But what happens when that bridge becomes a toll booth? When that system begins to function more as a racket than a refuge?
Why is the average Indian terrified of going to court? Not because of the judge, not because of the law, but because of the corruption by advocate. The lawyer has become synonymous with delay, endless paperwork, uncertain outcomes, and unspoken “costs.”
Is an Advocate Necessary for Justice?
This critical question must now be addressed openly. Does every citizen need to hire a professional lawyer to seek justice? Or is it time to design a system where common people can directly approach the court, speak their truth, and be heard?
If the law is meant to protect everyone equally, why is its access dependent on whether you can afford a good lawyer?
A New Judiciary System: Without Advocates is the need of time:
The concept is not radical—it’s revolutionary. We can build a simplified, transparent, and technology-driven legal system where:
- Self-representation is made easier, with simple digital forms and guides in local languages.
- Court apps and online systems allow people to file, track, and argue their cases without middlemen.
- AI and legal assistants can help citizens understand laws, draft responses, and suggest next steps—automatically and without cost.
- Judges directly question involved parties, removing unnecessary delays caused by procedural tricks.
- Fixed-time hearings and strict rules against adjournments ensure faster justice.
Such a system could reduce court backlogs, make justice accessible to the poor, and eliminate the deep-rooted corruption that festers between advocates and court staff.
Conclusion: Justice Needs Reform, Not Just Verdicts
The time has come for India to ask hard questions about its legal system. When the guardians of justice become gatekeepers of corruption, a change is not just necessary—it is urgent.
Justice must never be sold. And certainly not by those who wear black coats and claim to defend it. In this process image of Judiciary Staff also be damaged. So it is high time to enhance Judiciary System ,empowered Judiciary Staff and free advocate from Judicial System and let the Justice be fast.
Let us move toward a system where justice is delivered based on truth, not fees. A system where the law serves the people—not the advocates who profit from it.
