If it comes to the defense of a client some lawyers may request the client to lie,or else the lawyer may also in his defense give a misrepresentaion of facts.Is this correct from a moral point of view?

Yes. Lawyers are not supposed to lie in court. They ask questions of witnesses. They pose possible scenarios to the Jury. They don't testify so they don't get a chance to tell a lie. If they know their witness is lying they are suborning perjury which is a crime. A good lawyer never asks his client if he is guilty so they are not put into a position to lie.

I don't know what that has to do with just following another lawyer.
