We have observed during our long practice that many times cases are either not properly presented or fought in a court of law due to several reasons ranging from insufficient time to lack of proper and adequate professional resources. This often may prove very dearer in criminal cases where criminal liability is involved. The applications, appeals, petitions, submissions, arguments, evidence and cross examinations are sometimes prepared hurriedly risking quality thereof. There is a dearth of qualitative arguments in courts due to work pressure. The written submissions (where necessary) are rarely submitted leaving a scope for vital points being overlooked by judges. The difficulties are also being experienced in finding and submitting important and relevant judicial rulings of higher courts due to lack of resources. As a result of these and many other reasons the lawyers/counsels and in turn their clients suffer in court cases.
