Moreover, it was argued that these actions were an attempt to <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;derail the proceedings of the PIL&#8221;<\/span> and divert the Court&#8217;s attention regarding the irregular grant of recognition to nursing colleges lacking requisite infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">However, the respondents denied the veracity of the allegations and called them <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;nothing but an attempt to shoot in the dark.&#8221;<\/span> It was contended that MPNRC, being an autonomous body, was within its rights to appoint counsels and compensate them as per mutually agreed terms. It was asserted that the news items and assembly discussions bore no legal weight or substance in the present judicial context.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1%;\">The Court found the petitioner&#8217;s submissions <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;irrelevant inasmuch as it is an expenditure made by the government during the course of litigation.&#8221;<\/span> The Court reiterated that MPNRC, as an autonomous legal entity, is entitled to appoint counsels independently and disburse fees from its own funds. The Court stated that<\/p>\n<p class=\"animate-charcter\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; margin-left: 36pt; font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;We do not find violation of any government policies or any other illegality&#8230; Neither any material has been placed before us as to what amount has actually been paid&#8230; nor any circular has been produced providing that a private organisation cannot engage any counsels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1%;\">Furthermore, the Court clarified that the position of the Advocate General, appointed under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574899\" target=\"_blank\">165<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\">Constitution of India<\/a>, does not bar him from representing autonomous state bodies or receiving remuneration for such services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"animate-charcter\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; margin-left: 36pt; font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;Nowhere it is prescribed that the Advocate General cannot represent any autonomous body\/Corporation of the State or cannot charge an independent professional fees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In support, the Court referenced to <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Sharad Datta Yadav<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Municipal Commr.<\/span>, 2021 SCC OnLine Bom 3749, where the Bombay High Court found the allegations of exorbitant legal fees <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;exude the vice of mala fide and that cannot be countenanced by any standard.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1%;\">The Court dismissed the application and held that<\/p>\n<p class=\"animate-charcter\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; margin-left: 36pt; font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;We are firm in our opinion that such type of allegations are not required to be scrutinized&#8230; Such allegations without any fulcrum or proof&#8230; cannot be looked into by this Court&#8230; we do not find any illegality prima facie in the case of engaging lawyers by the
