Legal Question in Legal Ethics in India

A builder facing a consumer forum on complaint from an investor on non competition of construction in time filed a counter on counseling from an advocate that he floated an approved plan of sites in India and abroad as one of his many other submissions. The complainant later on conclusion of the case won an award for late delivery. But he found the site plan was not approved. During an appeal against the builder for compensation for incomplete works the complainant mentioned about non-approval. By this time the builder had engaged a new lawyer. On his counseling the builder contended at no instant of time he mentioned the plans are approved. The investor lost the case as the Judge was not given a satisfactory proof of the in complete work. Aggrieved the investor took up a civil case. In here again the builder changed the councilor. In here the builder changed his version on plan approval saying it was delayed because of some reasons.

How much the advocates are responsible to council the builder on deferent terms that too before a judiciary? Are Lawyers answerable to queries in these regards by Bar Council.
