Judges, friends and kin gather to pay respects to jurist Fali Nariman

Supreme Court and High Court judges, both present and former, family and friends gathered at the Delhi Parsi Aramgah to pay respects to eminent jurist Fali S Nariman on Thursday.

Nariman passed away on Wednesday in Delhi, at the age of 95. He was laid to rest at the Parsi burial site in Khan Market.

Former Chief Justice of India Justice UU Lalit, former Supreme Court Judges Justices Madan B Lokur, Swatanter Kumar, Adarsh Kumar Goel, Kurian Joseph and A K Sikri were present. His son, former Solicitor General of India Rohinton Nariman also stood by his remains.

The prayer hall meeting where Nariman’s remains were kept before burial, saw a large gathering — many stood on the sides as the room filled up. Chairs were placed even outside the hall. The prayers began a little after 10 am, and after an hour, Nariman’s last rites were completed.

Other prominent lawyers present were Kapil Sibal, Arvind Datar, and Sanjay Hegde. Former BJP Rajya Sabha MP and former cabinet minister Subramanian Swamy had also come to pay respects.

In a jam-packed hall filled with around 500 persons including various judges, a prayer meeting (Uthamna) was held at 4 pm at the Parsi Anjuman (Dharamsala) at Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg.

Also among those who attended the ceremony were former Attorney General of India Mukul Rohatgi, former Supreme Court Judge Indu Malhotra, and former Delhi L-G Najeeb Jung.
