I first heard about him in 1982. I purchased his book of public interest litigations for RS.80/-.
It contained copies of Public Interest Litigations filed by him in Rajasthan High Court along with orders therein.
It seems that later he moved to Supreme Court and continued to file PIL in Supreme Court.
His reputation was upright. His petitions were mostly on industrial pollutions in the country. Important laws of PIL are developed in his cases.
He was detached with the work he was doing. His job was only to do research, compile facts and to place them before court and to assist court.
He never craved for publicity or TV interviews. He was a humble and gentleman. Having no enmity with forces against whom he fought.
Later he was also given international awards for his work.
