Under Rule 4 of Part VI, Chapter II of the Bar Council of India Rules, what must an advocate do if a client persists in sharp or unfair practices despite the advocate's efforts to restrain him?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Rule 4 first requires the advocate to use his best efforts to restrain the client from sharp or unfair practices. If the client persists, the rule says the advocate "shall refuse to represent the client". A letter of protest while carrying on with the case does not meet this duty, and the rule says nothing about reporting to the police or seeking leave of court.
