[4/23, 21:37] K. Selvaraj Mhc Advt: *24.04.’21 “Experientia docet”*
*(Experience teaches)*

*“If a man is willing to be robbed would you be a thief”*

“H.M.Seervai could never be one of a kind; he was Sui generis, he was unique. For him there were in life no shades of grey: there was only black and white, right and wrong. He set for himself the highest standard of moral integrity and in that he was totally inflexible and uncompromising, at times unreally so. When a young colleague asked what could be wrong about charging high fees when clients were willing to pay them, unhesitatingly came the answer, “If a man is willing to be robbed, would you be a thief?”.

H.M.Seevai was to show the daunting and fierce courage throughout his life: his credo is reflected in the lines of Sir Walter Scott – I can almost hear him recite them in his stentorian voice.
*“Without courage, there cannot be truth, and without truth, there can be no other virtue”.*

– By *Iqbal.M.Chagla*, the President , Bombay Bar Association,delivered at Full Court Reference on the demise of H.M.Seervai on 1.2.1996.

– From *Evoking H.M.Seervai, Jurist and Authority on the Indian Constitution* By *Feroza H.Seervai*
