Gazette (Part II) dated 11.6.2005 by which new Rule 2 Add the Quick Launcher on Panel was added after Rule 2 of Chapter XXIV of the Rules of Court 1952 in the following manner:-

(3.) AS stated supra, legal profession is a noble profession and a legal practitioner has been called an integral part of the justice system and he is thus in a sense a member of the body judicial. In Bar Council of Maharasthra v. M.V. Dabholkar (AIR 1976 SC 242, Iyer, J. said that "the vital role of the lawyer depends upon his probity and professional life-style. The central function of the legal profession is to promote the administration of justice. AS monopoly to legal profession has been statutory granted by the nation, it obligates the lawyer to observe scrupulously those norms, which make him worthy of confidence of community in him as a vehicle of social justice". The preamble to the Bar Council of India Rules postulates that "An advocate shall, at all times, comport himself in a manner befitting his status as an officer of the Court, a privileged member of the community, and a gentleman, bearing in the mind that what may be lawful and moral for a person who is not a member of the Bar, or for a member of the bar in his non-professional capacity may still be improper for an Advocate. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing obligations, an Advocate shall fearlessly uphold the interests of his client, and in his conduct conform to the rules hereinafter mentioned both in letter and spirit.
