6.Legal profession is a noble profession and it is the lawyer, who plays predominant role in securing every citizen life and personal liberty fundamental and statutory rights ensured by the Constitution. When a lawyer for an individual client fight for the life and liberty of his client, the Law Officers of the State are cast with the onerous responsibilities to strike a balance between liberty of the said individual and the interest of other fellow citizens and also the interest of the State, its policies, welfare schemes etc. It is like walking on a tight rope, for, there cannot be any deprivation of personal liberty, even to a single individual at the cost of larger public interest, as for as possible, more so, in the absence of correct and proper instructions in time. The Law Officers are subjected to mental pressure and face difficulties in getting proper instructions due several factors such as laid back attitude of certain officers for want of man power, fear of facing court of law, fear of taking responsibility, their future career prospects in the event of failure, travel to long distances, physical disabilities, lack of reward and also unwillingness to work. Apart from the above, wild allegations, indiscriminate and unnecessary arrayal of high ranking officials and departments as parties, that too without issuing notices or making representations.
