Media should know to draw a line in sensitive cases: Senior Advocate Aabad Ponda

There was a High Court judge at a wedding party I went to. He told a person, who was very close to Ram, praising him, “Ram is good, but I am saying there is a lady lawyer in Bombay called Ms Freny Ponda who is better than him. She knows her law very well. It is just that she is not a person who is into so much active practice, because she is looking after her family also, and is more or less semi-retired.” This was in the 90s after she had put in 40-45 years of practice. “She is fantastic”, the judge said, “No disrespect to Ram, but she is better than Ram”.

So what I am saying is that there is no dearth of skills in women. I have seen that in my mother. I have seen her turning High Court judges in murder appeals, rape appeals and various matters with the sheer flair that she had. And her command over language and law that she knew, some males would never be able to do it.
