My little birdies told me about huge trouble brewing at Luthra banking, or what is left of it
Insiders, was it a sweet exit or any sour grapes? and I am hearing little chirps about another one coming soon?

He was part of the management committee, one of the few senior partners, managed to get a freehand on how to run the practice, and enjoyed solid rep in the market.
At CAM, he will be just one of the many litigation partners and doubt will get the same freedom he enjoyed with Mohit.

Another candidate got 2 marks, some got 3,4,5. At the same time, people getting 19-20 too and not getting selected.
We can't put domicile angle, bcz people from the state itself are getting these marks.
