LEGAL CAREER OF JUSTICE UDAY UMESH LALIT

In June 1983, UU Lalit became a member of the Maharashtra and Goa Bar Council. He began his legal career with advocate M.A. Rane. In 1985, he relocated his practice to Delhi. He joined the chambers of senior advocate Pravin H. Parekh in Delhi.

Years later, a Supreme Court bench comprising of Justice G.S. Singhvi and Justice Ashok Kumar Ganguly appointed him as the Central Bureau of Investigation’s special public prosecutor (CBI). Three years later, the Supreme Court collegium led by then-Court of India Chief Justice Rajendra Mal Lodha recommended his appointment as a Supreme Court judge. He became the sixth lawyer to be directly elevated to the Supreme Court in August 2014. Justice Lalit primarily specialized in criminal law.

During his stint as a lawyer, he was appointed as the Special Public Prosecutor by the top court for the CBI to conduct trials in all the 2G spectrum scam cases

One of the path-breaking verdicts Justice Lalit was part of was the August 2017 judgment by a five-judge Constitution bench which by a 3:2 majority ruled the practice of divorce through instant ‘triple talaq’ as “void”, “illegal” and “unconstitutional”. While the then Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice S Abdul Nazeer were in favor of putting on hold the judgment for six months and asking the government to come out with a law to that effect, justice Lalit held the practice as violative of the Constitution.

A bench headed by Justice Lalit had ruled the erstwhile royal family of Travancore has the management right over the historic Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Kerala, one of the richest shrines, holding that the rule of “heritability must get attached to a right of Shebait” (servitor) of the temple.

In another significant judgment, in November 2021, a bench headed by Justice Lalit had ruled that touching sexual parts of a child’s body or any act involving physical contact with ‘sexual intent’ amounts to ‘sexual assault’ under section 7 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act as the most important ingredient is sexual intent and not skin-to-skin contact.

Justice Lalit was also on the two-judge bench which held that the prescribed 6-month waiting period under Section 13B(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, for divorce by mutual consent, is not mandatory.

Justice Lalit also represented Salman Khan in his 1998 poaching case, when the actor was charged with killing two blackbucks, an endangered species of antelope. Further, he reportedly represented BJP leader and then Gujarat Minister of State for Home, Amit Shah, who was charged with murder in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh and Tulsiram Prajapati fake encounter case.

In the exercise of the powers conferred by clause (2) of Article 124 of the Constitution of India, President Droupadi Murmu appointed Shri Justice Uday Umesh Lalit, Judge of the Supreme Court, as the 49th Chief Justice of India.
