Bar Council yang hanya diam seribu bahasa apabila Sri Ram hakim yang telah bersara muncul mewakili Anwar di Mahkamah Persekutuan.
Adakah Bar Council akan mengambil tindakan ke atas Sri Ram atau terus dengan sikap hipokritnya?
“The Bar Council passed a resolution today to prohibit retired judges from litigating in court, said president Christopher Leong.
After the Bar’s 68th Annual General Meeting (AGM), he told reporters that if retired judges were allowed to appear as counsel, it may affect public perception as to the administration of justice.
“It’s understandable that a person represented by a lawyer will feel that he is at a disadvantage if the adverse party is represented by a retired judge.”
The resolution, which was jointly submitted by Tan Sri V C Georgea, a retired Court of Appeal judge who has returned to practice but not litigated in court, along with five other retired judges of the superior courts.
“It is not the question of whether there’s actually bias or advantage. The point is, it affects public confidence, and that outweighs their ability to appear in court.” He said.
