"Criminal Intimidation | Sec 503| Beri Manoj v. State of Andhra Pradesh"

Описание: In this video, we explain an important Supreme Court judgment clarifying the criminal liability of advocates while performing their professional duties in the case of Beri Manoj v. State of Andhra Pradesh.

The Supreme Court of India held that the mere presence of an advocate or giving legal advice in a professional capacity cannot amount to criminal intimidation under IPC Section 506.

🔹 Key Legal Issue

Can an advocate be prosecuted for criminal intimidation (IPC 506) merely for advising a client or being present during a dispute?

Does professional legal advice amount to a criminal threat?

🔹 Supreme Court’s Ruling

The Supreme Court clearly ruled that:

Advocates are entitled to perform their professional duties without fear
