My wife and I (30) live with my parents in their house. Are we independent? Yes. Are we happy? Yes.
In July, 2023, we had our family dinner and our laughs together and we all retired to our respective rooms (on different floors). I slept and just before midnight my mom... 1/n
From that night I try to come back home every day no matter how late it gets. This episode taught me what being a man really means because life is unpredictable and we can't really kid around in it.
I wonder if I were not living with my parents then who would my mom have called and who would have answered it? Who would have reached our home to take Dad to the hospital?
Could I have lived without the guilt of not living with them?
He is doing better now.
Unpopular opinion: 1. In a secular country there should be no M area.
2. If you are getting provoked and attacking then FFS you aren't a persecuted minority. A persecuted minority would stay silent in fear of retaliation.
My mom called me up and panically called me downstairs. I rushed downstairs and realised that my father was not responding well. We took him to a nearby hospital and the doctor therein told us that he had suffered a heart attack. They gave him first aid and shifted him to 2/n

1. The mutation process in MCD records is completely online. So, dont bother about officials just do the needful online. Google about it.
2. MCD also automatically receives intimation of sale from the registrar's office.
3. Current year tax challan carries the status of arrears.
Shifted him to a better facility through an ambulance. Before departing in the ambulance the doctor, who was young in age, had put his hand on my shoulder and asked me to remain calm and told me to take care of my family. At that moment I realised how serious the situation 3/n
The situation was. Your mind can never fully understand the consequences when you are in action mode.
By around 1 am my mom had called

and
@SHOBHIT36548850
and both of them came running. I also called my chacha ji and he also came. The hospitals would take the person..
@pritisinghhhh
I didn't say a single word against her. I quoted her to provide context and a different point of view. That's not trolling but what do I know?
@BhavreenMK
Its a crime under section 354-A of Indian Penal Code, 1860.
File a police complaint. Its not victim's job to find evidences. If ultimately your case fails even then he will get the message that he is not untouchable. Make a dent in the universe. Stand up. We will support her.
Unpopular opinion: I am way too aggrieved by the PR campaign for CJI DYC. Dont get me wrong, I love DYC and I absolutely support him as CJI but Judiciary should live an isolated life.
This PR campaign by whosoever is wrong and I as an advocate cant stay mum. 1/n
I am a second-generation advocate but when I joined the profession my dad told me to learn all Munshi things first.
I know most of you find it below your status but in litigation it's absolutely necessary when you are starting your own office.
It saves you from humiliation too.
Judges are in the court from 10:30 to 4. Post 4 they read, correct & sign all orders. Then reading cases listed the next day. Writing reserved judgements, attending meetings & admin duties, staying up-to-date with legal & current affairs. They get no time left for family & self.

Guys, if you are new to independent law practice then please take pains to read your respective High Court rules.
It will make your life infinite times easy. Start with civil ones. If you want to excel in criminal law then read the police manual. The cross of IO will be solid.
@pritisinghhhh
I am not responsible for what other people say.
She said something, made a thread on a social platform. I used that context to put out my point of view. Let views flow free. Let ideas have a life.
I get trolled and abused too. Just a part of living a life on social media.
Work started at our Lajpat Nagar office.
We didn't come from generational wealth but we did have dreams.
Who said dreams dont come true? I am here, I am real and this is my dream taking shape. To be very honest, I didn't think this day would come so soon.
Thank you almighty.
A message for the struggling advocates:
Being in litigation is extremely tough especially when you are young and a first generation from a middle-class family.
But this struggle and this toughness is the one which makes the winning magnificent. 1/n
Today, I finally received my AOR Code. Meaning thereby that I can start filing in Supreme Court now. The goal has been achieved. Now it's time for bigger and better goals.
So many ideas, so many dreams.
Dear Zindagi, brace yourself because I am coming.
A thread on how to defend your client in a false rape case?
Defending clients in false rape cases is a daunting task because the sole testimony of the prosecutrix is enough for conviction. The reason is that there are rarely any public witnesses. Refer to (2010) 8 SCC 191. 1/n
Guys, I have a WhatsApp group for young advocates and law students for sharing legal news, updates, opportunities and asking queries.
Please DM if you want to join and please note that dont spam that group. Spammers will be removed.
My tryst with the law:
S. 90 of the Evidence Act states that the court "may" presume that any document that is 30 years old is genuine, provided that it is produced from proper custody.
Today, I learned that this provision is not applicable in the cases of Will. 1/n
This law student applied for an internship and BCCed other law firms and advocates in the same email.
Now, I am getting her rejection emails too. 🤣🤣
Poor girl.
This book is 1656 pages long and must read for all litigators. I will read a chapter and post about it on this twitter thread. The book is divided into 5 parts : 1. Advocacy and its Art
2. Evidence and Witnesses
3. Cross-examination
4. Arguments & Appeals
5. Model Questions
This has hit the chord of every junior adv who has visited the Delhi HC canteen. There are elites in Indian society and then there are senior advocates of Delhi HC who have reserved seats in the canteen.
I was waiting to grow strong enough to successfully raise this issue...
Last week I argued a criminal matter in Supreme Court. The matter was decided in our favour and the advocate for the State has been designated as a senior adv today. If he was designated a week ago then I could have boasted about winning a case against a designated senior in SC.
Guys, she said yes (again). 🎉🎉😁
As the wedding date inches closer, I cant help but wonder about all the friends I made and lost in life. A friend for whom I had my first street fight to the friend who was my first wingman to the friends with whom I roamed the streets at night.
Next two years are going to be explosive. CJI Lalit was always the silent one and had very limited time. CJI DYC might not shy away from making some very loud noises. Excited.
I am an advocate and my community is nyay-doot. Without justice there is no fairness in life.
Our demands:
1. Rs.10,000 as monthly stipend for interns.
2. Rs. 25,000/- as monthly sustenance amount for Munshis.
3. Rs. 55,000/- per month as honorarium for each advocate.
I'm a doctor. My community is Jeevan-data. You don't exist if we don't exist. If you lived today, thank a doctor. And here are our demands to the govt:
1. MCP (Minimum Consultation Price) to be legalised at Rs 1000 per patient by law. If a patient is not able to pay that much,
Do you want to learn the art of advocacy? Do you want to know how seasoned advocates answer tough questions from the Bench? Do you want to learn how to be respectful and not servile at the same time?
Watch Sr. Adv Sibbal address the Supreme Court in the RG Kar case.
Reason why basic legal education should be imparted in school:
I advised Anticipatory Bail to the client because there was reasonable apprehension of his arrest. He said and I quote -
"Police arrest karne aayegi toh mein darwaja hi nahi kholunga".
Obviously, it won't. We as advocates will be failing in our calling of the profession if we refuse to represent her. We (defence and prosecution) represent our respective clients to the best of our abilities so that the neutral arbitrator (the judge) can figure out the truth. 1/n
Yesterday, three young advocates maybe in their first year of practice appeared together before a Spl. MM in Saket Court and this particular judge is known to be raw and not very polite. One of those advocates addressed the judge and got really good bashing. 1/n
Actually, the Constitution of India through Article 44 says that the government should strive to bring the Uniform Civil Code. Not that the facts matter to you but it's actually you who are insulting Dr. BR Ambedkar ji.
The non biological just cannot stop insulting BR Ambedkar. If a “secular” civil code is now needed then it means that until now the Constitution drafted by BR Ambedkar and its judicial interpretation has so far been “communal.” Shame on

Many of us have seen that video of Kolkata High Court where a judge is berating a young advocate. I am not purposely sharing the video because the young fellow would appreciate his privacy. My two cents on it: 1. The learned Judge was wrong on all counts. ..1/n
If you molest females in the guise of "bura na maano holi hai" then you need your ass beaten black and blue. Simple as that. Holi is a festival of fun and not terror.
Hooliganism should be countered with appropriate force. We Indians don't understand any other language.
Guys, time for bitter truth.
Context- a woman getting shot in Saket Court and shootout in Rohini Court.
Do you know why these assailants came in the advocate's dress?
Because, advocates in Trial Courts bully the security personnel to not go through the metal detectors. 1/2

Our office has presence in Gurgaon District Court. I can arrange for appropriate and adequate legal representation for her there. Do let me know if there is a need or if need arises in future.
This is the reason why we need judges with practical experience. Anyone worth their salt will tell you about the blackmail done by some advocates in collusion with journalists.
They file RTIs/ complaints and then extort money from people in the name of compromise.
My first attempt at video posts. Here, I talk about the legal myths around the wife's right to have a share in the husband's property, after separation. And her right of maintenance and alimony.
Once I was arguing a matter in a far away HC and this judge berated me mercilessly. Horrific experience. So the client changed the advocate and hired a son of a retired SC judge. And on the next date on the same file which I spent weeks on researching and drafting granted relief.
Sr Adv Rakesh Dwivedi reads a judgment referring to Justice SN Dwivedi and what he held..
CJI DY Chandrachud: see these paras completely bind you Mr Dwivedi
Sr Adv Dwivedi: Yes...now I come to what Justice YV Chandrachud held
CJI: I should have known this was coming (laughs)
Guys,
I will be on vacation from 5th of June to the 15th of June. I need your help/ guidance. I am looking for a cozy place, without crowds and preferably on some hill, an all-inclusive resort.
Budget is around 5 lakhs.
Do you know where I can get the money?
I never thought I would have to say this out loud but here we go. If you are woke or entitled then please stop reading because this thread may challenge your perception of reality and I don't have time for your tantrums. Others, please read on.
OPPORTUNITIES ARE SCARCE. PERIOD.
I tell everyone among my family and friends that if anyone attacks them physically then beat the shit out of them. Don't think just do it. We will deal with the consequences later on. There is only one way to deal with bullies is to be a bigger bully and legally its self defense.
Guys, please pray that I will be able to put this into the service of our great nation and my commitment for our country and the society never falters. Also, keep me accountable on my commitment.
+राष्ट्र सर्वोपरि+
Unpopular opinion: if you are an advocate and advocate for other party contacts for settlement then you for F sake dont tell the court about it to get the other advocate step down. Irrespective of how unethical it was.
This is the betrayal of the highest order.
One of the mistakes I did in the green years of my professional life was to focus my arguments on the law instead of facts.
Guys, please go with the assumption that the judge knows the law. A judge doesn't need the lecture on 7-11. 😅😅

I know many of you are aggrieved by the SC judgement in Negi girl case but you guys have to understand that our institutions and especially police can never be trusted. I will share few of my experiences as a criminal defense attorney and leave you to form your own opinions. 1/n
Please help me find authentic data about the incident at Rau's coaching centre. I will file a complaint & pursue it.
I am tired of waiting. Apne bhagya ka vidhata banna hi padega. God has blessed me with some knowledge of law & more than bare minimum resources. Time to fight.

I am an Advocate on Record in the Supreme Court of India with sufficiently good experience and some noteworthy judgments & I still appear in cases for 1k/2k bcz opportunities are scarce. The more you work the better you get. Simple as that. It won't buy you Starbucks though.
50 paise to a rupee per word. Shameful and disgusting

How to get soft copies of Delhi High Court pleadings or Lower Court Records received by the HC.
Step 1 is to get a CD and the soft copy form (CD form in local parlance)
Step 2 is to get that form filled and approved by the Court Master. 1/n
I know it's hot & it's hotter than usual but I think I am living in a parallel Delhi NCR. All my house plants are alive, my ACs are working perfectly fine, I can sleep on the floor just fine, everyone is doing their stuff & I don't have the urge to blame capitalists.
I don't think people elsewhere fully grasp what's happening in NCR and just how hot it is. At 7am, the tap water is boiling hot. The sun hurts the eye. There's no night time anymore. For 24 hours the temperature feels above 40C. Which means during night the water is as hot

I live in Faridabad & things are getting bad here too. Planning to drop going to court tomorrow because I am concerned about the safety of my family. Might attend through VC.
Haryana will not be another Kashmir. I will not be forced to live in fear in my own land. NEVER.
If anyone catches their partner cheating like this then please don't use abusive language. It becomes embarrassing for us advocates to play such videos in court.
This video doesn't prove anything for divorce neither adultery nor cruelty. Could be cruelty but would need more.
India desperately needs tort jurisdiction. If BMC knew it was illegal then the BMC commissioner should resign from the services. Compensation in crores should be awarded to the family of the deceased and officers should be held personally liable for that compensation.
14 killed, 74 injured in this giant hoarding collapse in Mumbai’s dust storm yesterday.
The 17,000 sqft hoarding was listed in the Limca Book of Records last year. The BMC says it was illegal, unauthorised.
FOURTEEN lives gone & counting.
Banana republic.
It was October of 2016. I was a freshly milled advocate (enrolled in July, 2016 and graduated in June, 16) and I was asked to go and file a case in Punjab & Haryana HC by my dad. All I was given was a location where certain Munshi used to sit as my Dad had lost his number. 1/n

I am glad that my father and grandfather taught me about Patel ji, Bose ji, Sardar Bhagat Singh ji, Lala Lajpat Rai ji, and numerous others when I was a kid. Our History has been stolen from us. Not anymore.
our blood boils when we listen about these two glorified people who were very close to the british.. and not to worry, we will tell about their 'true' worth to our next generation..
I have extensively practiced before Hon'ble Supreme Court and various HCs and from that experience I can assure you that quality of your legal arguments matter more than your grammar.
Your perfect English accent can open some doors but your legal acumen will keep them open.
Today, I came to the Rishikesh Civil Court and the client asked my father to come as he didn't have much confidence in me.
After arguments the client was on cloud 9 and now the order came and our peculiar application was allowed.
Another state and another achievement.💪🏽💪🏽😎
I hope you guys are done with dissecting the proposed laws in lieu of the IPC, CrPC & Evidence Act. But the new laws seem to be away from reality as of now. So a discussion on the practical aspect of evidence law.
