𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗴𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻

Everyone’s obsessed with courtroom moments.
The killer cross-examination.
The passionate argument.

That’s the part mostly seen / visible.

Here’s what invisible: 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁. 𝗛𝗼𝘄𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗴𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱.

So the case isn’t won in court. It’s won much earlier; alone, at a desk, in silence.

That’s drafting. Not just writing but strategising. Blocking the other side’s defence before they raise it. Building a record your future self can stand on. No glamour. No audience. Just leverage in solitude.

Then comes skill 𝟮: 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Judges aren’t reading only your file but they’re reading hundreds, every single day. They may have gone through yours, but they can’t be expected to remember it. Your job isn’t to inform them. It’s to remind them with clarity, precision and structure that helps the Court identify the decisive issues without losing sight of the larger picture.

𝗔 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘄𝘀: 𝟭𝟬 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗕𝗖 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗘𝗥𝗔

Some milestones are more than just anniversaries, they become part of your own journey.

For me, 2016 was one such year.

It marked the beginning of my legal career and at the same time, the birth of two of India’s most significant legal reforms; 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗰𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲, 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟲 (𝗜𝗕𝗖) and the 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 (𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁) 𝗔𝗰𝘁, 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟲 (𝗥𝗘𝗥𝗔).

As a junior lawyer, I spent countless hours researching questions that had no settled answers, jurisdiction, applicability, legislative intent and the interplay of these new laws with the existing legal framework. There were no precedents to rely upon; every brief was an opportunity to learn.

Ten years later, these legislations have been shaped by landmark judgments, legislative amendments, and practical experience. In many ways, they have evolved alongside my own journey as a lawyer.

Some lawyers remember the cases that defined their careers. I will always remember the laws that grew with me.

𝟲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀!! 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆!! 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀!!

Today, I complete 6 years with Shepherd Law Associates.

The journey began as Head of Legal and over time, evolved into the privilege of becoming a Partner. What has remained constant is the pursuit of excellence, the responsibility towards clients and the passion for Advocacy.

From handling complex disputes to appearing before courts and tribunals across the country, every challenge has been a stepping stone towards growth. The designation changed. The mission did not.

Grateful for the trust reposed in me by everyone who has been part of this journey. The best chapters are still being written. Looking back brings perspective while looking ahead brings purpose.

Onwards and Upwards!!

मानिनीय पटना हाई कोर्ट के आदेश के विरुद्ध मानिनीय सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने पुनः स्पष्ट किया: न्याय का अर्थ “रिश्तों के आधार पर दोष” नहीं हो सकता 𝙎𝙪𝙙𝙝𝙞𝙧 𝙆𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙧 & 𝘼𝙣𝙧 𝙫𝙨 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝘽𝙞𝙝𝙖𝙧 & 𝘼𝙣𝙧., 𝙎𝙇𝙋 (𝘾𝙍𝙇) 2026

मुझे मुख्य अभियुक्त के वृद्ध एवं वरिष्ठ नागरिक माता-पिता की ओर से पैरवी करने और बहस रखने का अवसर प्राप्त हुआ। उनके विरुद्ध मुख्य आरोप केवल इतना था कि कथित धनराशि उनके बैंक खाते में प्राप्त हुई थी। इसके बावजूद माननीय सत्र न्यायालय तथा माननीय पटना उच्च न्यायालय ने उनकी अग्रिम जमानत याचिका खारिज कर दी। आश्चर्यजनक रूप से, माननीय उच्च न्यायालय ने मौखिक रूप से यह टिप्पणी भी की कि - “बेटे की गलतियों की सज़ा माता-पिता को भुगतने दीजिए।”

ऐसी परिस्थिति में माननीय सर्वोच्च न्यायालय ने हस्तक्षेप करते हुए वरिष्ठ नागरिक माता-पिता को गिरफ्तारी से संरक्षण प्रदान किया तथा यह पुनः स्पष्ट किया कि केवल पारिवारिक संबंधों के आधार पर किसी व्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता का हनन नहीं किया जा सकता।

न्याय व्यवस्था “रिश्तों के आधार पर दोष” के सिद्धांत पर नहीं चल सकती।

अक्सर वैवाहिक एवं आपराधिक मामलों में वृद्ध माता-पिता को बिना किसी प्रत्यक्ष भूमिका के केवल सामान्य एवं व्यापक आरोपों के आधार पर मुकदमों में घसीट लिया जाता है। कई बार प्रक्रिया ही सज़ा बन जाती है - पुलिस की पूछताछ, सामाजिक कलंक, गिरफ्तारी का भय और अंतहीन अदालती कार्यवाही।

मेरे विचार से माननीय सत्र न्यायालयों एवं उच्च न्यायालयों को ऐसे मामलों में, विशेषकर जहाँ व्यक्तिगत स्वतंत्रता दांव पर हो, अपनी शक्तियों का प्रयोग अधिक संवेदनशीलता और जिम्मेदारी के साथ करना चाहिए। जब आरोप अस्पष्ट, सामान्य या केवल पारिवारिक संबंधों पर आधारित हों, तब न्यायालयों से केवल मूक दर्शक बने रहने की अपेक्षा नहीं की जा सकती।

व्यक्तिगत स्वतंत्रता की रक्षा हेतु न्यायालयों को जो शक्तियाँ प्रदान की गई हैं, उनका उद्देश्य ही ऐसे मामलों में संरक्षण देना है। उपयुक्त मामलों में न्यायालयों को इन शक्तियों के प्रयोग से हिचकना नहीं चाहिए। न्यायिक संयम की कीमत किसी व्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता नहीं हो सकती।

𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝟲𝟵 & 𝟯𝟱𝟭(𝟮) 𝗕𝗡𝗦 | 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗟𝗱. 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝗻’𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗜𝗻

I am pleased to share an order wherein I represented the Petitioner in a case involving allegations under Sections 69 and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The anticipatory bail application had been rejected by both the Ld. Trial Court and the Hon’ble Patna High Court. The Hon’ble Supreme Court has now stepped in to grant interim protection from coercive action to the Petitioner.

This is not just an order, it is a reminder that personal liberty cannot be casually sacrificed at the altar of untested allegations.

Arrest is not a shortcut to justice. Even a single day of wrongful incarceration is enough to cause damage that no acquittal can undo.

𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗜 𝗪𝗜𝗦𝗛 𝗜 𝗞𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗜𝗡 𝗠𝗬 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗢𝗙 𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗚𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

When I first entered litigation in the year 2016, I believed success would come from knowing the law well.

Years later, appearing before different courts and eventually the Supreme Court, I realised the profession teaches you far more than law school ever can.

Here are a few things I wish someone had told me in my first year:
1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲.
Judges, seniors and colleagues remember how prepared and professional you are.
2. 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿.
A well-drafted petition can win half the battle even before arguments begin.
3. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.
Litigation rewards consistency over time, not instant brilliance.
4. 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁.
5. 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.
Clerks, court staff, colleagues and clients all shape your journey.
6. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀.
Even a short mention can teach more than hours of reading.

Litigation is a long game.

The lawyers who succeed are not always the loudest or the most visible rather they are the ones who show up every day, prepared and persistent.

𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟲: A young first gen lawyer walking into courtrooms with more hope than experience. Even getting a matter listed then, felt like a victory.

𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲: Standing before the Supreme Court as an Advocate-on-Record. Handling multiple cases in multiple states before multiple courts.

Any journey is never easy. Mine was built on late nights, unanswered calls, rejected briefs, silent consistent struggles and relentless belief. Today, I don’t just argue cases. I carry years of perseverance to the podium. Standing before the Supreme Court as an Advocate-on-Record, I realise:
Success in litigation is not only about brilliance, rather, It is also about endurance.
Keep showing up. The Court remembers consistency.

🚨“𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲. 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.” – 𝗖𝗝𝗜 𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗘𝗥𝗔 🚨

When such a sharp observation comes from the Chief Justice of India, it is not rhetoric rather it is institutional concern.

The Supreme Court of India questioning the effectiveness of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 framework is a serious concern for real estate regulation in India.

RERA was enacted with a clear objective:
• Protect homebuyers
• Ensure project transparency
• Enforce financial discipline
• Fast-track dispute resolution

Yet, on ground reality, what do we often see?
•Endless extensions granted to defaulting developers
•Recovery certificates that remain unexecuted
•Orders passed but not enforced
•Homebuyers forced to approach High Courts and the Supreme Court for relief

If regulatory orders require constitutional courts for implementation, the regulatory mechanism itself stands diluted.

A regulator must regulate and not merely register.

The purpose of RERA was to shift the balance of power toward accountability. If it is perceived as shielding defaulters instead of protecting consumers, structural introspection becomes inevitable.

This is not a call for abolition, it is a call for reform:
• Stronger enforcement powers
• Time-bound ex*****on of recovery
• Personal liability of promoters in chronic default
• Transparent compliance audits

The credibility of regulatory institutions depends not on statutory intent but on enforceability.

The real estate sector does not need weaker regulation. It needs effective regulation.

𝟯𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗺: 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁

When money is raised on false assurances, structures are kept opaque, funds are diverted and the same property is sold to multiple buyers under the pretext of contractual arrangements, the act is plainly criminal.

Cheating, criminal breach of trust and conspiracy cannot be diluted into contractual defaults. Civil proceedings are not a shield for prima facie fraud.

This practice has become disturbingly common in the real-estate sector and will continue unless met with stronger transparency, real-time disclosures and swift criminal enforcement.

White-collar crime survives on delay. The rule of law survives on timely criminal accountability.

Fraud, even when wrapped in boardroom language, remains fraud.

09/02/2026

One year ago, a dream I carried since entering litigation in 2016, came true. Becoming an Advocate-On-Record of Supreme Court Of India is an honor I will always carry with humility, pride and responsibility.

The early days were marked by long hours, learning through mistakes and navigating uncertainty, all those years of perseverance, persistence and belief laid the foundation for everything that followed.
