As Chairman of the 49th Supreme Court, Uday Umesh Lalit will not have a scarcity of challenges – from the main constitutional questions to the appointment of judges – but he will have a personal heritage for a century, to use it.
The Lalit family from Maharashtra has 102 years and continues to grow. His grandfather, Ranganath Lalit, was a lawyer in Solapur long before Indian independence. On Saturday, when the Judge of the Lalit Law took an oath as CJI, three generations of his family would be present.
His 90 -year -old father, Umesh Ranganath Lalit, will be there. The veteran serves as a high court judge after a long career as an advocate in his home state.
There is also the wife of Judge Lalit Amita Lalit, who manages schools in Noida, and their two sons, Harshad and Shreeyash. While the two sons learned engineering, Shreyash Lalit then turned to the law. His wife Raveena is also a lawyer. Harshad Lalit worked as a researcher and lived in the US with Radhika’s wife.
Such a family legacy does not spell direct success for the Lalit Law. When he first came to Delhi in the 1980s-after changing his practice from the Bombay High Court-he lived in a two-room flat in Vihar MaDur, the working class environment.
Criminal cases immediately became his expertise, and he rose to become a senior advocate appointed in the Supreme Court.
One of the high profile cases that emerged was the case of the 2G spectrum allocation, where the court appointed him as a special public prosecutor.
In August 2014, he was appointed as the Supreme Court judge directly from a lawyer. He was only the second judge who became CJI.
However, the department’s time will be short, just 74 days.
In addition to the proposal problem, it will lead a college that points to judges throughout the state.
