One of my favourite articles, which left quite an impression on me as a young lawyer starting out my career, is this one on the then-Justice Muralidhar.
The Strange Case of the Omni Van Lawyer
I was lucky enough to be in the Delhi High Court the day of Justice Muralidhar’s farewell, the circumstances around which are best explained here. At the time, I was observing a matter before Justice Hima Kohli, who claims a similar origin story, when the hapless counsel for DUSIB requested the matter to be put up after lunch. Needless to say, that didn’t happen. I’m not sure why I left early - it was something which seemed important at the time and is of so little consequence today that I can’t recall it, and hence, never got to see this. This is one of the few regrets I have in my professional career.
If you ever can, please choose to linger. You might just witness history in the making.
