Justice Gavai discussed Justice Khanwilkar’s early life, when his primary goal was to find a job to effectively support his family. He had reluctantly joined the profession on being persuaded by another lawyer who noticed his talent, Justice Gavai revealed.
“His immediate desire was to find a job to effectively support his family, but one lawyer residing in the vicinity noticed his talent and persuaded him to join the profession. Reluctantly, he joined. After some time, he shifted to Delhi, stayed in small, rented accommodation and after his initial struggle, he created a niche for himself and became one of the topmost lawyers from India in the Supreme Court.”
