They Got Rid Of A British Rule, Now They're Dying!

My lawyer showed up after ages. He looked older than his age. One reason is of course his father being 103 years old, he has to be cared for. But the other reason was something I didn't know. Lawyers in India act in groups almost like criminal gangs. That's why you get so many violent court stories out of Uttar Pradesh. My lawyer informed him that lawyers ran a campaign to abolish Morning Court since it was a British rule from 1885 or something. And they were successful. So the morning court was done away with in Bihar. With the result that lawyers are having to work during the hot summer days with scorching temperatures of 44 degrees. A few have already died of sun stroke. But now who can bring back a British rule? Only a consensus between judges and lawyers can. But even lawyers are divided on the issue. Over and above Indian lawyers have to wear the black coat and trousers even in this heat. It's so sweaty that most have an Indian map on their coats and some even a Pakistan map !
