The Colonial Institution of Judicial Courts have not completely evolved into a democratic
constitutional set up. Thus it is evident that the values and thus relationships between the Bar
and the Bench have not fully evolved as equally responsibly functionaries for the due
discharge of legal justice. What the time being in force requires is a cordial and mutually
respected Bar and Bench with the high aspirations of the welfare of the people and the
furtherance of the statutory, fundamental and human rights of the aggrieved individuals,
citizens and other persons.

A free and fearless Bar is not to be preferred to an independent judiciary, nor an independent
judiciary to a free Bar. Neither has a primacy over the other. Both are indispensable to a free
society. The freedom of the Bar presupposes an independent judiciary through which that
freedom may, if necessary, be vindicated. One of the potent means for assuring judges of
their independence is responsible, well- behaved, cultured and, learned Bar. Finally,
reciprocal adjustment of conduct by the Bench and the Bar is the keystone to the smooth
functioning of courts in general interest of the society.
