Ram Jethmalani:13 Things know About India’s Most Famous Defence
Office: Member of Rajya Sabha since 2016
Here are some things that you ought to know about this maverick lawyer:
1. Born in 1923 in Shikarpur, Ram Jethmalani was a bright student and got a triple promotion when in school.
2. Ram Jethmalani obtained a law degree when he was all of 17 and practised law in Karachi until the partition of India. He chose to study law and pursue it despite opposition from his father.
3. Being the youngest lawyer in Sind, he had to persuade the then Chief Justice of Sind to pass a special resolution to relax the rules (which then mandated that a lawyer had to be 21 years or above), and allow him to practice.
4. He moved to Bombay just after India attained freedom in 1948 and started practising there.
5. In 1959, Ram Jethmalani appeared in the famous K.M. Nanavati vs. State of Bombay case. This was among the last cases to be heard as a jury trial in India, as the government abolished jury trials soon after.
6. He earned a reputation of being a ‘smuggler’s lawyer’ after he defended Haji Mastan, in a smuggling case.
7. He was elected a member of Parliament in the 6th and 7th Lok Sabha on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket from Bombay.

9. In 2013, Ram Jethmalani was expelled from BJP, for accusing it of being “silent against high corruption”
10. From defending the killers of the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to the Dalal street scammers Harshad Mehta and Ketan Parekh. From opposing the death sentence of Afzal Guru to representing clients like Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MP Kanimozhi, he has defended them all with the same gusto and belief.
11. In 1987, at the age of 64, Ram Jethmalani announced his candidature for the President’s post. He also launched a political front and called it Bharat Mukti Morcha.
12. In 1995 he launched his own political party called ‘Pavitra Hindustan Kazhagam’, with a motto to achieve transparency in the functioning of Indian Democracy.
13. In more recent occurrences, he made news for having sent the Delhi Government a bill of over 1.5 crores for appearing for Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a defamation suit.

I truly love your website.. Excellent colors & theme. Did you build
this web site yourself? Please reply back as I’m hoping
to create my own personal site and want to know where you got this from or exactly what the theme is called.
Appreciate it! I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found
any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
Saved as a favorite, I really like your site! http://foxnews.net

I’ve been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours lately,
yet I by no means found any interesting article
like yours. It’s pretty price sufficient for me.
Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you probably did,
the internet might be much more useful than ever
before. Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Safari.
I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with
web browser compatibility but I thought I’d
post to let you know. The design look great though!
Hope you get the issue solved soon. Cheers I visited multiple
web sites however the audio feature for audio songs existing at
this web page is really superb. http://newground.com

Its such as you read my thoughts! You appear to understand so much about this,
such as you wrote the e-book in it or something. I believe that
you could do with a few % to drive the message house a bit, however instead of that, this is
wonderful blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.
