Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar, the leader of the Bar, appeared pro bono in this case. The entire post praises Mr. Appu.
Is it not interesting that V.K. Singh hailed from Bihar, and Mr. Appu was from the Bihar cadre? Mr. Appu preferred to desert the cadre because of animosity with V.K. Singh’s father-in-law, a chief engineer and a powerful technocrat.

A well-drafted story. Kudos to the writer.
