Former Attorney General (AG) of India and senior advocate Ashok Desai passed away Monday morning. The numerous outpourings of grief and “In Memoriams” appearing in the media, have been paying rich tribute to Ashok bhai, as a legal luminary. My long association with Ashok bhai as a neighbour, dates back to the mid-nineties — when we were each building our houses in adjacent plots in South Delhi. It was in the course of such meetings with him, that I had an occasion to also discover and discuss our shared interest in the Western and Indian Performing Arts. Way back in the late nineties, when my tenant was giving me a problem, Ashok bhai readily gave me the best legal help possible.
