During difficult times, when many fell silent, senior advocate Fali S. Nariman’s baritone resonated in the walls of the court and beyond, Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud said on Thursday.
The CJI was paying tribute to Nariman at a Full Court Reference held in his memory. The jurist passed away on February 21.
CJI Chandrachud said Nariman, who was vocal in his support of civil liberties and rights, represented the “conscience of the nation” in hard times.
