Fort to Court

on the way from Court, The Car stopped in the residential area near a luxurious home. Both of our seniors went in the home and then sanjay sir came out and said Anna wanted everyone of us (Juinor counsels) wanted to come in the House). As we walked in, an young guy was receiving us in, then I looked a little interior where I saw Periya sir, sanjay sir, and the owner of the house were closely watching something and were discussing among themselves. I was curious to go and watch it too but at first I dint. Then when they moved away from the spot,. I went and had glance over it. It looked like a waste dumping area surrounded by compound wall.

now I understood, the owner of the house is the potential client whose grievance is the the neighbour of his house dumbs his waste in the spot creating nuisance to his living.

Later we all went inside his house where we were treated with fruits, snacks and juices. Then the owner looked so depressed and concerned with his problem with the neighours who were dumbing their unnecessary things on his property and he said to us how in India people dumb things only on neighbour properties. Then sir diverted him of his worries and took his attention towards his family and his other personal schedule. He told he travel to places often. HE told he had been Singapore recently twice and he visits Yoga classes reguralry in the morning and added, He has free time to do this unlike lawyers. Then he talked about his daughters and other stuff. then we took our departure after assuring we would take care of his problem

On the way back again in the car, Senior sir asked me If I knew who he was. But before asking such question I heard periya sir and sanjay sir discussing how even Article 226 of the Indian COnsittuionnn itself was settled only because of Him (The house onwner). I apparently felt puzzled as to which context they were talking like this. Then periya sir was talking about how zamindari abolition system is very different in Benagla and Tamil Nadu.

I answered NO. Then pEriya said to me. He is Maharaja of Orissa. I dint know I should feel shocked or feel confused or feel bemused. Becaused all I knew was I was talking with a funny man who was complaining to my senior that his neighbour was dumbing his dust particles (that too at his back side of his house) at his property and he wants a lawyer to fix it. fine He is a maharaja he can afford to fix a lawyer to fight anything after all but guess but after what my senior would have commented about it!!!!! J

Anyway He said he would come to office, and it seems He has determined to taste the smell of Court to seek justice. He is welcome here!

I was sitting in Court Hall 39 so proudly; waiting for the Judge to arrive, because, today, I had come earlier to the Judge who always finished the list before every time I reached his Court Hall to appear for my case. He even addressed me a latecomer once. I gave his assurance once I wont come late again but I could barely keep my words there again. However today it was an unusal day and 5 and 27th items were ours. Both were second appeals which alone comes in this Court. I opened the bundle of the 5th item for the first time, just incase, to know the brief facts, of the case to defend if situation arise, though I knew I cant take the risk of arguing on matter I had least knowledge.

The judge came I wished and tried made myself as conspicuous as possible. And when the 5th item reached I was so happy to make my presence felt before the Judge and though my intention was to get an adjournment date, I never excepted what was coming! The appellant side (the other side since I was representing the Respondents!!) were ready and began arguing but not in a full fledged manner. He started setting out the facts of the case. I did have some objections which were entertained by the Judge who by now almost, I believe, had started considering me as his pet. I did wait for a moment to message my senior to inform about the happening. But since my senior didn’t arrive immediately, the matter was posted for some disputable facts which were to be clarified. (so obviously there was no causalty to the case). I then went to an another Court to look after an another matter

I, unexpectedly, receive an SMS from my senior reading He is in Court Hall 39. I rushed like a mad dog to Court Hall 39 and what I saw was unbelievable. He apparently was arguing the 5th item (SA 25 of 2005 ) and I was astonished when he was explaining what the case was about, the issues and the substantial question of law involved. I am astonished because. The second appeal affidavits are usually prepared more than a year before since it take such a long time to reach and just by remembering the name of the parties name he remember everything and was arguing on the matter and when I rushed in the Court Hall, he immediately asked me for some papers, I thought he probably would need to refer the bundle to refresh his memory but, adding to fun, he took a map from the bundle, and he showed it the judge to substantiate his arguments and to supplement it. Besided he immiediately he said how the lower court decided against the appellant not on any grounds but on the reasoning that the appellant should not have filed the appeal at all which my senior added saying it is in so and so page number and he immediately pointed to that page number only when I saw him referring to the bundle for the time, from then began the argument which went on for the next 2 and half hours atleast but I did not have the fortune to continoiusly watch the argument sicne I had to leace the court hall in between again and again to go check the items in other court hall.

Finally when the arguments were ouver, the Copurt officer told me the Judge would defintitley allow it. J

Born Independent

Wedded to the semi glorious and saga of the Past and still being in love with dreams about the Future. Caught among the Bitches in Heaven. Glimpses of smile I see more in your eyes than in your lips as I sail across the weeks wondering If I will ever see you. Striving every second to obey the words of mantra which can never be bought, and awaiting somone who can quench my insatiable craving to break the spell I am under, Life is rising me high as I am turning a year older on August 16.
I am Born Independent!
