"You're Fired!"

This is what the ITC head honchos must have told their lawyers after their short-lived, yet much-needed elation (Rs. 803 crore is not exactly a paltry amount).


And if they didn't fire their lawyer, it's time they did. Who wants a lawyer who saves you from paying Rs. 803 crore, only to be told half an hour later that maybe you may have to pay it after all?


Now they should start circulating "dumb" lawyer jokes. An editorial could soon have its headline as: "Lawyers- The New Blondes?"
