‘ED erred’: Probe agencies can’t summon lawyers, says AG

The Enforcement Directorate made a mistake. It summoned lawyers Arvind Datar and Pratap Venugopal. They were summoned for giving legal advice. The Attorney General R Venkataramani informed the Supreme Court about this. All probe agencies received instructions. They must not repeat this error. The court emphasized lawyer-client privilege. Guidelines will be framed soon.
