Mustafa Motiwala
Justice Gautam Patel, who had written a hugely sarcastic, hard-hitting and viral order targeting adjournment culture, has passed a new order expressing his “personal regret” if any embarrassment was caused the the junior counsel appearing before him, clarifying that it should have been directed at those who given the instructions to seek an adjournment.
After his Indigo-GoAir order went viral last year, Bombay high court Justice Gautam Patel has delivered another zinger, with this one dripping with even more sarcasm and innuendo, scheduling the next hearing date for 2020 (actually, for late 2020, more than three-and-a-half years from now).
Mustafa Motiwala, who joined Juris Corp in 2011 with his firm AM Law, has resigned as a partner at the firm, reported Bar & Bench.
He was in charge of commercial, dispute resolution, intellectual property and real estate.
In a little over a year, Juris Corp has seen the departure of Chennai head Hufriz Wadiaj, Hoshedar Wadia and Anil Jarial, Fraser M, after a string of departures in 2012.
Juris Corp has absorbed AM Law, the practice of Bombay solicitor Mustafa Motiwala and six lawyers, bulking up the firm’s management capacity and advisory strength.
