Very warm Birthday greetings to our dear Senior Advocate Surendra Desai on his 80th Birthday today.
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 over four 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 a then Panjim Municipal Council Councillor who had been disqualified on a petition filed by me. He was Goa’s first Councillor to be disqualified.
Surendra Desai completed his law degree while serving the Air Force and joined the legal profession in June of 1974. He had joined the Air Force in 1963 as a ground engineer and is a veteran of the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars.
Sir, Surendra Desai wishing you good health and all the very best in the years to come. May God bless my Hero.
