Ansuya Dutt was 93, going on 94, when she breathed her last in Mumbai on March 9.
MUMBAI: Earlier this week, the legal community lost a venerable veteran who practiced exclusively in the sphere of matrimonial law.
Ansuya Dutt was 93, going on 94, when she breathed her last in Mumbai on March 9.
Lawyers, young and seasoned alike, mourned her passing as a "profound loss'' and said it the "end of an era.'' They remembered her as an advocate at the Mumbai family court where she always fought vexed divorce disputes fairly, gracefully, often advocating amicable resolution among warring couples. In the family court where estranged couples fight for divorces or child custody and allegations hurled between spouses often more hurtful than actual separation, Dutt’s sensitivity and fairness were her forte.
