"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.
"Yesterday was the 100th birth anniversary of this extraordinary legal luminary. It is not every day that we get the opportunity to celebrate the legacy of one of the greatest personalities.
