KAPIL SIBAL

Mr. Kapil Sibal is considered as “Mike Tyson” of Supreme Court who can impress the Court by his arguments even in the dead case and could defeat his opposite lawyer by his good preparation in the case. He is a legal “Bofors Gun” which cannot be easily handled by any general type of Lawyer, meaning hereby that due to his knowledge and presentation in a case generally he cannot be defeated in Court.

He is the lawyer against whom none other lawyer wants to appear because of loosing the case, as he is old and experienced senior Advocate of Supreme court.

He considers that a bureaucrat has no match before a successful Lawyer. There cannot be any sort of match between an bureaucrat and an Advocate. A brilliant successful Advocate is thousand times more than an I.A.S.
