Sr. Adv. Subhash Babu Parmar — Championing Legal Awareness & Trust in Indian Courts
Sr. Advocate Subhash Babu Parmar is a towering figure in Agra’s legal fraternity and also the President of Gold Collar Talks. His career is proof of his discipline and the trust placed in the legal profession. His biggest mantra is: “Ignorance of law excuses no one, and awareness of law saves everyone.”
Professional Journey & Discipline
Inspiration & Commitment: He got his dedication from his father-in-law, Shri Hari Gopal Singh Chauhan, who was a Law Professor at Agra College. His father-in-law taught him that once a client’s Vakalatnama (power of attorney) is filed, the lawyer’s entire focus must be on the client, no matter who they are up against.
Reading Discipline: Even today, at the age of 75, he maintains the discipline of studying/reading for six hours daily.
Key Legal Insights & Challenges
Sr. Adv. Parmar addressed the major issues and common misunderstandings within the Indian legal system.
The Pending Cases Crisis: He pointed out that there are currently 5.2 crore cases still pending in Indian courts.
Solution for Backlog: To reduce this massive backlog, he suggested making greater use of Lok Adalats and other Dispute Resolution Mechanisms.
Myth-Busting (Possession vs. Ownership): He clears up the popular misconception that if something is found ‘lying around,’ it automatically becomes yours.
The Legal Reality: Property only belongs to the person who is in possession of it when:
The possession was not taken unlawfully.
No other person is making a claim of ownership over it.
Final Message for Citizens
His most important message is based on empowerment for every citizen:
Every person must be aware of their rights and duties.
If your rights are being violated, it is crucial to challenge it at the right time.
