    The legal luminary is no more

    Yesterday (On 21st February 2024), we lost the jurist per excellence, Fali Sam Nariman. The great legal luminary was born in Burma (present-day Myanmar on 10th January 1929. Known for his expertise in constitutional law, Fali Nariman argued several landmark cases before the Supreme Court of India. His legal arguments are marked by their clarity, precision, and deep understanding of legal principles. He played a crucial role in shaping constitutional jurisprudence in India, with his opinions often cited and relied upon by various courts of the country.

    Fali Nariman was also a prolific writer and has authored several books on law and legal history. His writings reflect his deep knowledge and passion for the subject.

    His contributions to the legal field have earned him numerous accolades and recognition. Nariman was Additional Solicitor General of India from May 1972 to 25 June 1975, resigning from that post upon the declaration of emergency on 26 June 1975. He was honoured with several prestigious awards, including the Padma Bhushan and the Padma Vibhushan, two of India's highest civilian honors. His exemplary career continues to inspire aspiring lawyers and jurists in India and around the world.

    Fali S. Nariman's son, Rohinton Nariman was a former Solicitor General of India and a judge of the Supreme Court of India.

    I pay my respect to the departed soul.

    A much-respected legal luminary is no more. R.I.P. Sir.

    I read in a report that Fali Nariman later regretted defending Union Carbide Corporation in the Bhopal gas leak civil liability case. At that time, it excited him to take it up due to ambition and felt he could not just walk out of it once he had taken it up (reference- Times Now news).

    Fali Sam Nariman, a well-known legal professional and a luminary in India is no more. He was the President of the Bar Association of India from 1991 to 2010. He has recognition internationally. He was a recipient of the Gruber Prize for Justice (2002). He was a nominated member of the Rajya Sabha of India from 1999 to 2005.
    Nariman was the Additional Solicitor General of India from May 1972 to 25 June 1975. He resigned from that post on 26 June 1975. He argued for former Chief Minister of Tamilnadu J Jayalatiha and obtained bail for her.
    He was a member of the Advisory Board of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in November 1999. He served as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the International Commission of Jurists from 1995 to 1997.
    A great personality and my respects to the departed soul.

    The demise of Fali S. Nariman marks an end of an era in Indian Judiciary. The man who should have or could have become a Judge but never became though adjudged as most suitable for the post was undoubtedly one of the most respected lawyers, not only in India but internationally too. An expert in Constitutional law, he has been instrumental in interpreting the Indian Constitution to the benefit of the common man in so many cases. He was a well-known figure in International Arbitration and was a member of many international legal organizations. A legend who balanced the combination of knowledge and wit, his demise is, no doubt, a great loss to the Indian Judiciary. May his soul rest in peace!

    Fali Sam Nariman was a renowned lawyer. He was associated with many important cases where landmark judgements were passed by the court. The field of legal tangles is a complicated terrain and to work in it with clarity and preciseness is something that every lawyer cannot achieve. But Nariman mastered the art of legal recourse and showed his knowledge and perseverance in many famous cases.
    I also join the ISC members in paying respect to the departed soul.
