Singh (pictured) finished his schooling from Welham Boys School before graduating from Nalsar in 2010 when he began to practise in the Punjab & Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court.
He was a budding advocate, young, bright and passionate about his work showing exemplary courage of conviction while fighting for his and fellow graduates’ right to practice law, appearing often in the Punjab & Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court matters related to the controversial all India bar examination.
Singh was perhaps the only bar exam petitioner who stood his ground consistently when others faltered by making timely appearances before the courts and diligently following up on the case in his quest to get the exam annulled for being unconstitutional.
Singh evidently possessed strong legal acumen coupled with a sincere commitment and passion for his cases right from the bar exam challenges to helping in the defence of Swamy Nityannanda, belying the fact that he was a novice advocate with only months of court-room experience.
It is fair to say that the grit and determination he showed for causes will serve as a source for inspiration for others and he will always be remembered and missed by one and all.
Singh had suffered a road accident on 10 December and passed away one week later on 17 December. The funeral was held on Saturday 18 December.
Rest in peace.

We first met for few minutes in Registrar's Court in Supreme Court of India.
I still remember the passion, perseverance and purity of your efforts to champion the cause of young Advocates:
I have no words to say anything more just dedicating a poem of Dylan Thomas, may your soul rest in peace, we shall not give up what you begin:
A process in the weather of the heart
Turns damp to dry; the golden shot
Storms in the freezing tomb.
A weather in the quarter of the veins
Turns night to day; blood in their suns
Lights up the living worm.
A process in the eye forwarns
The bones of blindness; and the womb
Drives in a death as life leaks out.
A darkness in the weather of the eye
Is half its light; the fathomed sea
Breaks on unangled land.
The seed that makes a forest of the loin
Forks half its fruit; and half drops down,
Slow in a sleeping wind.
A weather in the flesh and bone
Is damp and dry; the quick and dead
Move like two ghosts before the eye.
A process in the weather of the world
Turns ghost to ghost; each mothered child
Sits in their double shade.
A process blows the moon into the sun,
Pulls down the shabby curtains of the skin;
And the heart gives up its dead.
Dylan Thomas
Death sets a thing significant
The eye had hurried by,
Except a perished creature
Entreat us tenderly
To ponder little workmanships
In crayon or in wool,
With "This was last her fingers did,"
Industrious until
The thimble weighed too heavy,
The stitches stopped themselves,
And then 't was put among the dust
Upon the closet shelves.
A book I have, a friend gave,
Whose pencil, here and there,
Had notched the place that pleased him, --
At rest his fingers are.
Now, when I read, I read not,
For interrupting tears
Obliterate the etchings
Too costly for repairs.
Emily Dickinson,
(1830 – 1886)
Also good LI predicted that he was a good lawyer despite he just graduated in 2010. On a serious note, don't publish a news just for the sake of it. I don't consider a news.
I am really sorry, I felt very bad by reading his news, he was trying sincerely for the cause of young advocates career. I pray god to keep his soul rest in peace.
Is it really accident or etc. etc. because he is fighting for a cause on behalf of all the young lawyers. God knows.
BCI must cancel the exam atleast to fulfil his last wish.
@9 Your wisecrack comments are hurtful. I pray you never reveal your name for your own safety and stay in your self glorifying world you have created. He maynot be the only lawyer who passed away this year but he was the only lawyer whose funeral as a testimony for his character was attended by more than 2000 people in his village.
But it is sad to know someone - whom you came across only in cyberspace - no longer exists.
I pray for his family and loved ones to give them the strength to endure and come to terms with this terrible loss.
May FPS' soul rest in peace.
RIP.
WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH!
Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh Lyrics
Behti hawa sa tha woh
Udti patang sa tha woh
Kahan gaya usae dhoondo
Behti hawa sa tha woh
Udti patang sa tha woh
Kahan gaya usae dhoondo
Hum o to raahein thi chalati
Woh khud apni raah banata
Girta, sambhalta, masti mein chalta tha woh
Hum ko kal ki fikar sataati
Woh bus aaj ka jashn manaata
Har lamhe ko khul ke jeeta tha woh
Kahan se aaya tha woh
Chhoo ke humare dil ko
Kahan gaya usae dhoondo
Sulagti dhoop mein chhaaon ke jaisa
Raegistaan mein gaaon ke jaisa
Mann ke ghaav pe marham
Jaisa tha woh
Hum sahme se rehte koovein mein
Woh nadiya mein gotae lagata
Ulti dhara cheer ke tairta tha woh
Baadal awara tha woh
Yaar humara tha woh
Kahan gaya usae dhoondo
Hum ko to raahein thi chalati
Woh khud apni raah banata
Girta, sambhalta, masti mein chalta tha woh
Hum ko kal ki fikr sataati
Woh bus aaj ka jashn manaata
Har lamhe ko khul ke jeeta tha woh
Kahan se aaya tha woh
Chhoo ke humare dil ko
Kahan gaya usae dhoondo
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.
I HUMBLE REQUEST PLEASE CARRY ON THE FIGHT FATEH STARTED.
THERE WAS NO ONE LIKE FATEH AND CAN NEVER NEVER EVER BE SOMEONE HIM.
LOVE YOU FATEH.
RIP!
You will always be remembered Sir!
Komal!
