As India votes, sharing thread on 10 lawyers who fought the good fight to save the constitution! It’s not in any order of ranking. There might be many more. Feel free to add on! I would call them “Warrior for the Constitution”.
1. Mihir Desai, lawyer for Sudha Bharadwaj.
2. Kapil Sibal. Be it Art 370, electoral bonds or even Umar Khalid, Sibal has valiantly battled in and out of court. Boldly spoken truth to power!
3. Indira Jaising. From Shabrimala to Bilkis Bano, Indira has been ready to speak for the voiceless often at great personal cost!
4. Dushyant Dave. Dave has been consistent in boldly calling out the Court in these times. It takes great courage to do so.
5. Rajeev Dhawan. Another grand lawyer who has battled on to give the good fight though often fully aware what the result would be.
6. Prashant Bhushan. He has been at it and irritated money. The electoral bonds case is one of the many feathers in his cap!
7. Chander Uday Singh. A successful senior who has demonstrated that commitment to human rights can go side by side a roaring practice. Never hesitated to say it out as it should be.
8. Vrinda Grover. Outspoken and at the forefront of many cases, specially cases involving rights of women!
9. Aparna Bhatt. Lawyer for Zahira Sheikh, Teesta Setalvad and many other notable “clients” Aparna has been at it shunning publicity, personal recognition and attention!
10. Suroor Mandar. She led the team of young lawyers who fought to save lives during the Delhj riots of 2020. She makes it to this thread as representing all of you who are young like her and bold and brave to fight for our constitution! Jai Hind!
