NEW DELHI: Senior advocate Iqbal M. Chagla, one of India’s most respected lawyers, passed away on Sunday in Mumbai at the age of 85. Known for his sharp legal mind and unwavering integrity, Chagla also served as the President of the Bombay Bar Association during the 1990s, where he boldly stood against corruption in the judiciary. Under his leadership, resolutions were passed against six sitting judges, some of which led to their resignations.
