Ram Jethmalani Biography Ram Jethmalani is a prolific Indian lawyer who served as a Union Minister in Vajpayee's administration.

Ram Jethmalani, one of India’s most maverick lawyers, passed away, over the weekend. He was among the highest-paid lawyers in the country. But his popularity didn’t just come from winning cases - it was the choice of the cases that gained him his reputation. He was also widely regarded as the doyen of criminal law. Jethmalani, who passed away just a few days short of turning 96, began practicing law since he was only 17-years-old. He used to live in Pakistan’s Punjab before the partition and came here soon after. Every one of his cases have created headlines in the papers that don’t go away for months and years. It started with the Nanavati case and he then went on to represent some of the country’s most hated men. Indian Navy commander KM Nanavati killed his English-born wife, Sylvia’s lover, Prem Ahuja. When the case first went to court, it was one of the last ones to be heard as a jury trial in India and garnered major media attention. The first time around, the Naval officer was acquitted because the jury felt sympathy towards him. And so, the sessions judge sent the case to The Bombay High Court. The first time around, it was claimed that Nanavati didn’t commit a pre-mediated murder and only lost his cool, when Prem Ahuja claimed to have no intention of marrying Sylvia or taking care of her two children with her husband. In the retrial, Jethmalani led the prosecution from Ahuja’s side. He pointed out to the judge that the murder was indeed pre-mediated, given that Nan...

The legendary Ram Jethmalani breathed his last at his residence in Delhi on 8 September 2019. He held the distinction of being the oldest and the youngest member of the Bar. He was 17 when he secured a law degree from the SC Shahani Law College in Karachi. At the time, the minimum age to practice law was 21, but an exception was made to allow Ram Jethmalani to start practicing at the age of 18. So, when he announced his retirement at an event organised by the Bar Council of India to felicitate new Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, many agreed it was the end of an era. While a lot has been written about Jethmalani’s legal genius and his political rebelliousness (like the time he called Modi’s government a calamity), not much is known about how his arguments in court left a lasting impression on the legal and political history of India. A handsome Naval officer, Kawas Nanavati, shot dead his wife Sylvia’s paramour, Prem Ahuja, after discovering that he had no intention of marrying her or accepting their children as his own. The case was among the first to be put to a media trial and the last to be decided by a jury. At the time, Jethmalani was not the maverick he would eventually be known as, and in his own Jethmalani assisted the Public Prosecutor in framing the arguments first in the trial court and then later in the High Court. His strategy and line of cross-examination ensured that Nanavati was held guilty. However, when the conviction became a rallying point for the P...

Online Desk Ram Jethmalani's tryst with criminal law started at the age of 17 and he practiced it for nearly 80 years, with his dying words being "I wish good for the country". Known to speak his mind with unflinching courage, he grew to be a lonely crusader against black money and corruption, and one of the strongest dissidents of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Here are 12 memorable moments from the life of a man who always said as he saw it. 1 Jethmalani on defending rape-accused godman Asaram Bapu: When Jethmalani was asked during an interview with the Wall Street Journal if he had accepted Bapu as his client because the latter paid him well, the barrister had replied: "Of course, naturally." In true criminal defence lawyer style, Jethmalani refused to pass judgement on Bapu, saying, "It is not an open-and-shut case by any chance. What happened in that room is only between Bapu and she (the minor victim)." In a TV interview, Jethmalani cited the lawyers' equivalent of the Hippocratic Oath: “I decide according to my conscience who to defend. A lawyer who refuses to defend a person on the grounds that people believe him to be guilty is himself guilty of professional misconduct." 2 Jethmalani on why he charged the moon: India's highest-paid lawyer had said that he charged a fee to only those who could afford it. "I fix it depending on the client's capacity to pay. If Kejriwal tomorrow says he cannot afford my fee, I will still do his case," Jethmalani said, referring to the f...
