We have the rare privilege of hosting this renaissance man, this polymath, in his first podcast interview ever. Hosted by his close friend, Sr. Adv. Fredun DeVitre, Justice Nariman shares the impact of moving to Delhi when his father was appointed Additional Solicitor General of India, working alongside the great Nani Palkhivala, and why according to him there is no case which is so bad that it cannot be argued. You will also be treated to an enthralling discussion on the Basic Structure Doctrine of the Constitution.
