His legal acumen is well known and appreciated.
His articulation was infused with subtlety and was always polite.
A graceful presence in any discussion. A great human being.
Deeply saddened at the passing of a giant of India's legal fraternity. It was my great honour to have known former attorney general, 'Padma Vibhushan' Soli Sorabjee. He was a true gentleman, master of court craft, stood by high principles & mentored many top lawyers
