NEED FOR SOME LEGAL DISCIPLINE AT THE ADVOCATE GENERAL’S OFFICE by Adv. Aires Rodrigues, Ribandar

The Union Law Ministry has recently rightly directed the Attorney General and the Solicitor General of India not to directly entertain any requests for legal opinion without the matter being referred by the Law Ministry. All ministries, departments, Public State Undertakings and Autonomous bodies have also been directed not to seek any legal opinion or advice directly without consulting the Law Ministry.
Such a system needs to be enforced in Goa where all sorts of files are being directly sent by departments and other authoririties to Advocate General Mr. Subodh Kantak for legal advice. The files sometimes remain there for months together and there is no way of tracking them. The Advocate General’s office does not keep any record of files sent for legal opinion or advice. So routing all files to the Advocate General through the Law department may bring about the much needed legal discipline.

    An excellent idea hope it is implemented immediately Files should be attended immediately and not left to collect, Unfortunately that is what happens Indian system it is the tradition

  2. Don't trust Aires - ask him why he abandoned the German girl's rape case.

    He'll take everyone for a ride and sit and enjoy with the money he pockets to shut his mouth. Don't by any stretch of imagination think he will go all the way for any cause. Use him at the most to highlight the issue.

    Support genuine social activist like Matanhy Saldanha - the man who has led all genuine struggles in Goa for the last 30 years and suffered.

  3. Don't get fooled by Aires' noise. It's just an extraction ploy. Remember the German girl's rape case? Why Aires withdrew and became silent.
    he'll take everyone for a ride. But at all cost use him to make noise and pursue the issue later. Don't count on him - he is not a genuine activist by any stretch of imagination.
