Former Union Minister and eminent lawyer Ram Jethmalani was a mentor to juniors and someone who fought for various causes and not money, lawyers said on Sunday while condoling his demise.
Some of the lawyers, who in the past worked with Jethmalani, described him as an "icon and legend of the law", and said his humility touched all the sections of society.
They described him as not just a versatile counsel, but someone who was patient and modest with everyone.
Jethmalani, 95, died in New Delhi on Sunday morning.
"In Jethmalani's demise, the judiciary has lost a great jurist and a courageous lawyer. A truly versatile and multifaceted lawyer who excelled in all branches of law and navigated seamlessly from judicial magistrates court to the Supreme Court," advocate Birendra Saraf said on behalf of the Bombay Bar Association
