AMy issue isn’t your fees. It’s more about why the public doesn’t bash you guys as much as they bash doctors.A1) I realise about prep work hence I’m okay with spending 25,000.
2) sometimes anaesthetist will cancel a surgery case saying the patients BP is too high or something. That time we have to refund the money back to the patient or use that money for the next schedule. I honestly doubt this senior lawyer will use this 7 lakhs for next hearing
AThank you for the answer. I can accept the first part. But the senior lawyer -his presence mattered not at all as the judge shut him down even before he could speak anything. So why 7 lakhs when judge can’t even bother to listen to him ?Also the reason we don’t argue our own matter is because the judicial system is so opaque that cases can get cancelled anytime. If the matter comes for hearing and is posted on the case list, the judge can simply cancel it and go. No consequence to him. But I have to apply leave in my office. I was called as an expert witnesses in Mlc case- the judge postponed it thrice while I had to cancel all my cases /Opd etc for that day. who is going to compensate me for all the lost earning ?
Also in the first case (25000 rupees matter) the opposite party had filed against the government. He had included me and another doctor. That doctors brother was assistant to some hot shot lawyer. He alleged that govt lawyer will just pay some money to the clerk and make sure the case never comes to light. The opposite party is a doctor who just made a fool of himself by trusting the judicial process.
So kindly understand we aren’t coming to you for your expertise. We come because you can deal with all the shenanigans and headaches that come with cancelled cases and delays. As it’s a routine part of our work. While I have to apply for leave and goto another city to argue in front of the court which can simply cancel the hearing on that day on whim without providing us any reason or refund of court fees.
