Don’t remember much about fighting the case. Entire thing was handled by lawyers, who I think did a good job. I was in my late 20s or early 30s when case came up before Supreme Court. All our property was about to be acquired by Govt, and we could not afford that. #Kesavananda
We approached Mr. M. K. Nambyar, who was a renowned lawyer.
He prepared the initial files for the case. Later, Mr. Nambyar introduced us to Nani Palkhivala.
Of the judges, I don’t remember all of them.
However, I do remember Justices H. R. Khanna & Justice K. S. Hegde well.

What was your first reaction upon hearing the judgment?
#Kesavananda Bharati: I didn’t feel much, because I am not an emotional person. I believe that it was all God’s decision. The property is not mine, it all belongs to the mutt and I am only someone who is managing it.
