Fali S. Nariman is against non-judicial members having the ability to vote
When the Supreme Court of India named Nariman a Senior Advocate in 1971, his career took a big turn for the better. Fali S. Nariman’s autobiography is titled Before Memory Fades.
His son, Rohinton Nariman, was also a judge on the Indian Supreme Court. In India, he served as the Additional Solicitor General from 1972 until 1975. Following the declaration of the Emergency, he resigned. He continued to be one of the most eminent jurists, with recognition for his accomplishments across the world.
Cases of note
Nariman has been a part of various important instances throughout the years that have influenced Indian law. In the Bhopal gas tragedy lawsuit, Nariman argued on behalf of Union Carbide. Outside of court, he was a part of an agreement that handed the victims $470 million. But he responded in the affirmative when asked if it was an error.
Yes, that seems likely. Because I believed that this was just one more instance that would raise my stature. At that age, one is naturally ambitious. However, I discovered afterward that it was a tragedy rather than a case—but by then, it was too late, as one cannot abandon a case one has already taken up. And in a tragedy, all of the arguments about who is right, wrong, etc. are muddied by a lot of legitimate emotion,” he said to The Hindu.
He appeared in court on J Jayalalitha’s behalf in 2014. The former Tamil Nadu chief minister’s bail was first rejected, but he was able to get it. In the Narmada rehabilitation litigation, the Gujarat government was represented by Nariman. But after Christians were “killed,” he resigned.
Bibles were set on fire, Christians were persecuted, and even men and women who identified as Christians were murdered. “I went to the Minister in protest and he told me that there wouldn’t be any burning of Bibles or Christians, but it did happen, so I returned the brief and a lot of chaos was created,” he said to Bar & Bench.
