🌼 Sometimes those who fight a legal case… all alone, are rewarded with a beautiful resort place within a forest….

The Case: Government issued a notifications declaring a large area of land as “Forest Land”…

Many owners of land in this notified area were affected… Most of them did not fight.

One person decided to fight. He met a lawyer. He questioned and challenged the notification.

After many years, High Court accepted his case and the notification was set aside and declared illegal.

Government came to Supreme Court against High Court order.

Supreme Court clarified that notification is set aside only for the one person who challenged the notification.

It means that those who did not came to fight legal case, will not get any benefit.

So now in this large forest area,…. only this one man’s land will be his own…. He will probably built there a tourist resort … 🌼

Many years ago, I met a highly successful lawyer in Ahmedabad. He was a very very busy man.

His wife was also an advocate but she did not practise law.

One day he told me this.

Very early in their life they divided work.

Life of a lawyer is a very very busy life. Many times he does not even get time to attend marriage functions of relatives or such social obligations.

And if he does go to such social events, some of his clients and his work was bound to suffer.

So they decided in this way.

The husband will fully focus on legal work. And wife will take care of all social obligations like going to marriage functions of relatives, meeting relatives regularly etc.

As a result, his life got a balanced profile.

Neither his work suffered nor his social obligations to relatives suffered.
