It was indeed a very proud moment for Goa, and for the legal fraternity here in particular, to see our dear Senior Advocate Surendra Desai being felicitated by the Air Veterans Association of the Indian Air Force.
The felicitation held on Saturday at Ravindra Bhavan in Hyderabad was on the occasion of the Golden jubilee celebration of India’s victory in the 1971 war against Pakistan.
Adv. Surendra Desai who joined the Air Force in 1963 as a ground engineer is in fact a veteran of the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars.
He completed his law degree while serving the Air Force and joined the legal profession in June of 1974.
The highly knowledgeable, extremely sincere and very versatile down to earth Advocate Surendra Desai is a true role model for the legal fraternity. He brings to bear the rigorous discipline of facts and vigorous value of fairness upon the gravest of matters. These are true traits of a hero!
Very privileged and blessed to know Adv. Surendra Desai for the last many over three decades. In fact as a college student in 1987 I appeared successfully against him before a Division Bench of our High Court comprising of late Justice G.F.Couto and late Justice G.D.Kamat which upheld the disqualification of then Panjim Municipal Council Councillor Adv. Amol Naik who had been disqualified on a petition filed by me. He was Goa’s first Councillor to be disqualified.
Sir, Surendra Desai wishing you good health and all the very best in the years to come.
Friends you could wish our great Goan Senior Advocate Surendra Desai on 9890181999 which is also his whatsapp number. Thank You
