Senior Advocate and Law Teacher dedicated to advancing justice, legal scholarship, and professional excellence.
A Life Devoted to Law and Legal Education content: As a Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court of India and a law teacher, I have engaged undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers at various levels of legal education. My legal practice began at the Second Class Magistrate Court, gradually progressing through the judiciary and culminating in active participation in the Supreme Court's justice delivery system—a journey full of diverse experiences and invaluable learning. Along the way, I have met and interacted with thousands of law students, law teachers of varying expertise, practicing lawyers across India, and addressed hundreds of judicial officers, making my journey in the legal process truly memorable. Law is often called a "jealous mistress," demanding full focus, and I have consistently strived to meet this challenge with dedication and discipline throughout my career.
