[...] Sir Devaprasad Sarbadhikary acting as a peace-maker between the advocates of comunal representation and the officials moved an amendment to the resolution in the folloing terms which was accepted by both :— " This Assembly recommends to the GovernoGeneral in Council that in making new recruiment for the Services under the control of the Central Government steps be taken to secure that [...] An advocate " said Sir Alexander Cockburn in his classic definition of the functicuis of the Bar " should be fealess in carrying out the interests of his client ; but I couple that with this qualification and this restriction--that the arms which he wields are to be the arms of the warrior and not of the assassin. [...] 608 that in the circumstances of the case the accused should have been given an opportunity of being heard before the learned Sessions Judge he having been allowed to be present from the very commencement of the proceeings at the instance of the complainant. [...] So in this case the appearance of the accused before being summoned was not considered improper and irregular but on the other hand it was thought incumbent upon the Sessions Court to call upon the accused to appear and hear him as he was heard before the Magistrate at the commencement of the proceeding.
