Kamla Singh Dalal

You can find me at Patiala House Courts, specifically at number 173. It is a very busy place, as anyone who has been to the courts in Delhi knows. I spend most of my life within these walls, surrounded by legal books and stacks of petitions. The atmosphere is always a bit hectic. There are people rushing through the corridors and lawyers discussing cases in every corner. My space at 173 is where I keep my records and meet with people who need help navigating the court system. It’s not a quiet office by any means. You can hear the hum of the crowd outside all day long. I’ve been at Patiala House for a long time, so I know the layout like the back of my hand. The light in the room isn't the best, and there is always a bit of dust from all the old paper files. I usually have a chai sitting on my desk while I wait for a case to be called. It’s a practical way of living. I don't have a big website or a marketing team. People just know where I am if they need me. Sometimes the court sessions run very late, and I end up staying long after the sun goes down. It is just the nature of the work here. 173 is my base, and I’m usually there from morning until the last file is closed.
