I am seeing a lot of stupid comments against Uday Lalit, whose name has been recommended for appointment as a Supreme Court Judge.
I personally know Lalit as a man of high integrity. He often appeared before me, and I always found him fully prepared, courteous and competent. It is said that he represented Amit Shah and many criminals in cases.
In reply I wish to say firstly that Lalit was a lawyer practising on the criminal side. Obviously his clients will often be alleged criminals. Secondly, professional ethics require that a lawyer cannot refuse a brief. Thirdly, a lawyer cannot be identified with his client.
The comments against Lalit are highly unfair
