Sir, what are your views on current legal education system in country?
I am happy to see that youths are joining more as compared earlier to the law courses the numbers have increased in last 5 years also the 5 year courses are providing great platform to students who want to make carrier in law after 12th exams its providing a maturity level to the new minds .many institutes are offering nice law programmes with great sallybus which was not at our point of time .moot courts ,client councelling ,debate competitions are giving confidence to the students but at the same time they are seeing it as business and charging lots of money which should be stopped. after all the law courses has got entry into new era of education and by which I am happy .
Sir, you are a supreme court lawyer how u see the fairness in delivering justice there ?
The supreme court is the last court of appeal everybody in the country blindly trust on its proceedings .the decisions are solely made out of considering all legal factors and following rules nobody could question its proficiency in delivering justice .there had been certain issues regarding the interference of political party few months ago which I think was only a rumour or misunderstanding of judges which has been solved .
Sir if u had been legislature what one law u wish and will try to pass?
That’s, a real journalist question[laughing] see there are several law which I wish to pass but most eminent one is right to recall [RTR] it is the most important law which are not being passed by the legislatures till now .it will the real sense of democracy as the people will get the full freedom to remove the selected legislatures when he/she refuses or not fulfil the task for which they are selected they should must not enjoy the 5 years in making money and indulging in the corruption and looting the money of innocent people
Sir, what challenges u had faced during early days of practice?
Oh that was really hard I use to woke up at 5 in the morning and I had to reach at 7 am at my senior office which was a tough dtc ride of 1 and a half hour some time it was so crowded that I felt today I am going to fell out of it. Working all day including 15 min of break for lunch I get exhausted .i worked in district courts , high courts ,supreme court with my senior . I always remember the day when I got my first reward of rs 500 after we won a case my sir called me and gave me my hard work reward tears roll out of my eyes .some times my senior ask me to go at his house and deliver vegetables to his wife .it was really a tough journey. But after all I had gained much knowledge and experience out of that journey for which I am thankful to my senior .
