Answer 2

Explanation:

Professional communication between a legal adviser and a client is accorded protection under the Indian Evidence Act 1872 (the Act), the Advocates Act 1961 (the Advocates Act) and the Bar Council of India Rules (the BCI Rules).

Sections 126 to 129 of the Act is a codification of the principles of common law on professional communications between attorneys and clients. Any person who seeks advice from a practising advocate, registered under the Advocates Act, would have the benefit of the attorney-client privilege and his or her communication would be protected. Attorneys cannot, without the express consent of the client:

disclose any communication made during the course of or for the purpose of his or her employment as such attorney, by or on behalf of his or her client;

state the contents or condition of any document with which he or she has become acquainted in the course of and for the purpose of his or her professional employment; or

disclose any advice given by him or her to his or her client in the course and for the purpose of such employment.

There are certain limitations to the privilege and the law does not protect the following from disclosure:

disclosures made with the client’s express consent;

any such communication made in furtherance of any illegal purpose; or

any fact observed by any attorney in the course of his or her employment, showing that any crime or fraud has been committed since the commencement of his or her employment. The fact that the attention of the attorney was or was not directed to such fact by or on behalf of his or her client is not material in this regard
