Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud today narrated key moments from the life of Ram Jethmalani, who was known as the country's top criminal lawyer and legal mind. The Chief Justice of India said Ram Jethmalani's legacy endures not only because of his unparalleled mastery over the law, but also due to his relentless pursuit for justice through legal and constitutional means.
"He was a luminary who left a profound and lasting contribution to the field of law," Chief Justice Chandrachud said while delivering the 4th Ram Jethmalani Memorial Lecture.

He donned many robes - he was India's top criminal lawyer and legal mind; he was an acclaimed parliamentarian; he was elected as a member of the Lok Sabha twice and was elected to the Rajya Sabha once," Chief Justice Chandrachud said.
