Ishrat Ali Khan

If you have ever spent a morning at Tis Hazari Court, you know it’s a place that never really stops moving. My office is tucked away in the middle of all that noise and bustle. Ishrat Ali Khan is the name on the door, but most people just see a room full of folders and stacks of legal papers that seem to grow every week. It’s a very busy environment. There are typists clicking away nearby and the constant sound of lawyers and clients talking about their cases in the hallways. I’ve been working out of Tis Hazari for a long time, and you learn to ignore the heat and the crowds after a while. My desk is usually covered with files that need attention, and there’s always a glass of water nearby for when the throat gets dry from talking. It’s not the kind of place where you sit back and relax. People come to me when they have problems they need to figure out, and we spend a lot of time going over the details of their documents. The lighting inside the court complex can be a bit dim in some corners, but we have a good lamp on the desk. Sometimes I walk out to get some fresh air or a quick snack from the vendors outside, but usually, I’m right there in the thick of it until the sun starts going down. It’s a tough, fast-paced life here at the court.
