Life as an Advocate: Behind the Scenes of Law in Delhi
Being a lawyer is about more than just court arguments; it is about standing up for rights. Here is a glimpse into my life, the causes I support, and the reality of practicing law in Delhi.
Today, we went on strike at Dwarka Court to protest the Advocates Amendment Bill, 2025, which seeks to take away our right to strike. Lawyers are the voice of the people against administrative and police overreach. I appeal to all my lawyer brothers and sisters across India to raise their voices against this unjust bill.
Here I am, protesting with fellow advocates against the unjust Advocates Amendment Bill, 2025. This is not just a one or two-day strike; we are ready for a large-scale, all-India protest to protect our rights and the autonomy of our profession.
The proposed Advocates (Amendment) Bill contains concerning provisions that threaten the autonomy of the Bar Council of India. Allowing the Centre to nominate members and prohibiting advocates from boycotting court work undermines the democratic values of our legal community.
This collage captures our protest against the proposed amendments to the Advocates Act. These changes could demolish the autonomy of the Bar Council of India by giving more power to the Law Ministry, which is a direct threat to the independence of the legal profession.
Our protest against the unjust amendments to the Advocates Act was covered in the news. It is crucial that we stand united to protect the dignity and independence of our Bar Associations and the legal fraternity as a whole.
To all the first-generation lawyers watching, I want to share some advice my senior gave me. The initial struggle in litigation is real, but if you are good at your work, you will eventually find success. This profession rewards perseverance and skill, so don't lose hope.
On Advocates' Day, we remember the immense contribution of lawyers to India's freedom struggle and nation-building. From Dr. Rajendra Prasad to Mahatma Gandhi, lawyers have always been at the forefront of fighting for justice. Happy Advocates' Day to all my colleagues.
A look back at a complaint I filed against actress Kangana Ranaut for her irresponsible and seditious posts calling the Sikh community Khalistani terrorists. It is our duty as lawyers to hold people accountable for spreading hate and misinformation.
A memory from three years ago when I sent a legal notice to Kangana Ranaut demanding an unconditional apology for her derogatory remarks. Standing up for the dignity of a community is a responsibility I take very seriously.
I am honored to announce my appointment as a panel counsel for the NGO, Poonam Sant Mahila Evam Vikas Samiti, for the Delhi NCR region. I look forward to providing legal support to this organization and contributing to its mission of social welfare.
About The Legal Profession: My Life as an Advocate
People often see the black coat and the courtroom drama, but 90% of my work happens away from the cameras. It is in the hours spent analyzing FIR copies, drafting legal notices that actually hold water, and using tools like RTI to force accountability. Real law is not a film; it is patience, documentation, and strict strategy.
The Reality of Advocacy
Many people ask me why I choose to speak out on issues like the Advocates Amendment Bill or join protests at Dwarka Court. The answer is simple: an advocate is the voice of the people. If we allow the autonomy of the legal profession to be eroded, it is the common man who suffers. My practice is built on the belief that a lawyer must be a shield, not just a service provider.
For First-Generation Lawyers
I often get messages from young law graduates who feel lost. The initial struggle in litigation is real. You will see peers in corporate jobs making quick money while you are running between courts. My advice remains the same as what my senior told me: if you have the skill and the grit, the law will reward you. Focus on learning the procedure, not just memorizing sections.
My Approach to Practice
I believe in 'Kanoon Simplified'. Whether it is fighting against cybercrimes or handling property disputes, my focus is on clear, actionable advice. I don't just draft documents; I create strategies. When you hire me, you aren't just paying for paperwork—you are paying for someone who knows how to navigate the Delhi court system, handle investigating officers, and keep you informed at every step.
Why I Share My Work
I share these moments—the court visits, the protests, and the advice—to demystify the law. You have a right to know how the system works. If you are facing a legal hurdle, don't wait until the situation becomes a crisis. Understand your rights early, keep your documentation ready, and seek help before the case becomes complicated.
