Condolences pour in from different quarters Condolences poured in from all quarters on the demise of the former Attorney General of India Soli Sorabjee on Friday.
President Ram Nath Kovind mourned the passing of the renowned jurist. “In the passing of Soli Sorabjee, we lost an icon of India’s legal system. He was among the select few who deeply influenced evolution of constitutional law & justice system. Awarded with Padma Vibhushan, he was among most eminent jurists. My condolences to his family & associates,” he tweeted.
Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana said Mr. Sorabjee’s humane and compassionate approach defined his legal work. He served the office of Attorney General of India twice with great distinction. His body of work, spread over nearly seven decades, in defending the fundamental rights and human rights was of international repute. He would be remembered as a legend who added strength to the pillars of democracy, said the Chief Justice.
Refusing to grant consent, Attorney General K K Venugopal noted that even though the ex-CJI s statements were strong, they only reflected his views on the ills of the judiciary.
