With 40 years of experience in the Delhi High Court and Supreme Court, I fight for the rights of those often left behind. Justice is not a luxury, and I ensure it remains accessible to the common person.

(Hero Media) Here I am speaking with a young factory worker who was being paid only ₹8,500 a month, while the legal minimum wage is ₹18,000. This kind of shoshan (exploitation) is gairkanooni (illegal), and many workers are unaware of their rights. My work is to go to them, inform them, and fight for their rightful salary.

My office is often filled with people who have nowhere else to go. This is a typical day, listening to the problems of workers and families, and preparing their legal petitions. I believe justice should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford it.

At a protest, I am explaining the legal basis for contract worker regularization and 'samaan vetan' or equal pay for equal work. Using temporary contracts to deny workers their benefits is a form of exploitation that I actively challenge in court and on the streets.

I stand in solidarity with the Anganwadi workers and helpers union during their agitation in Delhi. Providing legal support to workers' unions is a crucial part of my fight for fair wages and better working conditions for large groups of employees.

I am discussing a draft bill I helped create to ensure job security for private school employees. Many teachers and staff face immense pressure and unfair dismissals. My goal is to create systemic change through policy and law, not just fight individual cases.

This newspaper clipping covers a significant legal victory where 670 waitlisted candidates were able to become teachers after our intervention. This is proof that when we fight for our rights, we can win. Ladoge tabhi toh milega.

This poster highlights a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) I filed for 278 contract employees of the WCD department who had not been paid for four months. When the system fails its own workers, it is a sharmnaak baat (a matter of shame), and I use the law to hold it accountable.

This is a professional portrait from when I was declared a candidate for the Delhi Assembly Elections. My fight for social justice extends from the courtroom to the streets and into the political arena, always with the goal of serving the common person.
