Maharashtra’s current Advocate General Dr. Milind Sathe joins legendary criminal lawyer Amit Desai to share his life story, from a remote village school to the state's top legal post. Drawing on the mentorship of his senior D.R. Dhanuka, he unpacks his philosophy of providing the right legal advice independent of political coalitions. Dr. Sathe offers insider perspectives on the landmark 1980s Hindutva election trials, the weaponisation of modern PILs, and his defence of the Coastal Road project. Reflecting on impactful pro bono victories and the Bombay Bar Association's rich history, he highlights why lawyers must remain independent guardians of the rule of law.
