Campaigning for a Stronger Bar Association
Change isn't just a promise; it's a practice. A look at the journey, the conversations, and the shared vision for a more inclusive, responsive Delhi High Court Bar.
Addressing a crowd of my esteemed colleagues outside the Delhi High Court. My message is clear: when you go to the ballot, take five seconds to answer your conscience. Your vote is powerful, and I trust you to select the best person to represent our collective interests.
The energy and support from my colleagues on the campaign trail has been truly humbling. This video captures a moment of camaraderie and shared purpose as we walk together, united in our goal to create a brave new world for our bar association.
A montage of moments from nomination day, filled with the incredible energy and support from all of you. Walking together, united for a cause, this is what our movement is all about. This journey is not mine alone, it is ours.
"Badd chale hain kadam manzil ki talaash mein." We have started on this journey towards our goal, and the difficulties along the way will not stop us. This video captures the spirit of our determined march towards a better future for the DHCBA.
Change is coming. This series of clips shows me interacting with fellow members of the bar, shaking hands, and sharing smiles. Each interaction reinforces my commitment to serving our community with integrity and purpose.
"Main akela hi chala tha janib-e-manzil magar, log saath aate gaye aur karwaan banta gaya." I started this journey alone, but people kept joining, and it became a caravan. This video is a heartfelt thank you for your blessings, support, and love, which have turned a solitary walk into a powerful movement.
"Nayi ummeed, nayi aarzoo, nayi pehchaan ho. Aao milkar karein kuch aisa jismein humari tumhari sabki baat ho." Let there be new hope, new desire, new identity. Let's do something together that is about all of us. This video is a poetic call for unity and collective action.
About this collection
Campaigning is loud, but leadership is quiet work. My goal isn't just winning a seat; it's about the tangible changes we've already started, from opening new bar rooms and establishing the on-site chemist shop, to ensuring the canteen runs late for those working double shifts. If you are looking for someone who treats this election as a brief and the office as a duty, let’s talk.
Beyond the Ballot
I have always believed that tave pe roti aur sarkaar adalti badalti rehni chahiye (bread on the griddle and the government should keep changing). New ideas are necessary for progress. This campaign is not about power; it is about accountability. When I walk the halls of the Delhi High Court, I see the struggles of our young colleagues—the Wi-Fi dead zones, the lack of private space to consult clients, and the intimidating gap between seniors and juniors.
My Commitment to the Bar
- Infrastructure: We have already successfully negotiated for extended canteen hours and better utility spaces. This is the baseline, not the ceiling.
- Mentorship: The wall between senior and junior advocates must come down. Through our proposed Lawyers' Academy, I am committed to creating a structured environment where learning is continuous and accessible.
- Inclusivity: My agenda includes specific provisions for our women colleagues and those practicing in niche areas like Climate Law, ensuring our bar is representative and equitable.
This is a collective movement. Whether you are a first-generation lawyer or a seasoned practitioner, your voice dictates our direction. I am not offering empty gestures; I am offering a track record of work done and a blueprint for what comes next.

I’ve spent thirty years walking these corridors, and I know the daily struggle of the bar. This isn't about politics; it’s about rolling up our sleeves to fix the infrastructure and mentorship gaps that actually matter to us.
