<h1>Senior advocate summoned by ED for legal advice in money laundering case sparks bar association concern over privilege</h1> The Supreme Court Advocates on Record Association wrote to the Chief Justice after the Enforcement Directorate summoned a senior advocate for providing legal advice in a money laundering investigation related to stock options granted by a health insurance company. The association argued this violated lawyer-client privilege and threatened legal profession independence. The ED was reportedly withdrawing the summons. The association requested the Chief Justice take cognizance and establish guidelines protecting attorney-client confidentiality and bar independence from investigative agency interference.
