Expressing its surprise after being told that the fee structure of amicus curiae (friend of the court) has not been revised since 2002, Rohini Court additional sessions judge (ASJ) Dr Kamini Lau has asked the Delhi government to revise the fee structure.
Amicus curiae is appointed to assist the court or to render service to those who cannot afford advocates in court proceedings.
Generally, they are appointed on state expenses to represent the accused who are unable to hire advocate to put forth their defence or to assist in the judicial proceedings.
