Probe agency can’t force Lawyer to divulge Client’s whereabouts: Bombay High Court The Nagpur bench of Bombay HC has said investigating agencies cannot force Lawyers to reveal the whereabouts of their clients. The observation came while hearing a lawyer’s plea, who was asked to visit the police station with his client or provide information regarding her whereabouts. The division bench held that such a letter or notice could not have been issued to an advocate requiring him or her to divulge any information about the client. In such matters, there is no question of lawyers being required to help the investigating agencies, one way or the other, particularly when they are discharging their professional duties to their clients. The legal experts at Reddy and Reddy law firm specialise in handling matters relating to various laws.
