Singh, lawyer for Vinay Sharma and Akshay Thakur, had even questioned whether such a stringent sentence would actually act as a deterrent and stop incidents of rape in the city.<\/p>\n<p>Singh Friday told mediapersons that in response to a poser by the court he had said that &#8220;&#8230;if my daughter was having pre-marital sex and moving around at night with her boyfriend, I would have burnt her alive. I would not have let this situation happen&#8230;&#8221; The poser from the court was apparently in the context of Delhi gang rape victim.<\/p>\n<p>Council secretary Murari Tiwari told IANS that the council was a statutory body mandated to ensure its members did not behave in a manner unbecoming of lawyers. Lawyers can&#8217;t conduct themselves in an undignified manner and use language that lowers the esteem of the legal profession. &#8220;We have a code of conduct and professional ethics to follow,&#8221; Tiwari said adding it was unbecoming of Singh to cast aspersion on the verdict before the media. &#8220;We condemn his statement and would seek his explanation,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Everything that Singh had said would be taken up when he personally appears before the council,&#8221; said Tiwari.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the council has asked organisations representing social groups, who are up in arms over Singh&#8217;s statement, to send their complaints in writing. A social activist said when Singh does not respect the freedom of his own daughter, what respect he will have for other human&#8217;s rights.<\/p>\n<p>(Source:IANS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The defence lawyer of two convicts in the December 16, 2012 gang- rape has been flayed for terming the verdict politically and emotionally driven and that he would have burnt his daughter alive had she been involved in pre-marital sex and were she to step out with boyfriends at night.
