Good to know that Mr. Hegde has been designated Senior. In any case, he was being represented as "Senior Advocate" by Times Now where he appears on Newshour frequently. This had become quite a joke in the Delhi courts because Mr. Hegde never once corrected him. Kian, I hope instead of censoring this comment (as you often do when it comes to your friends) you will go on the Youtube Times Now Channel and find what I am saying is correct.

Why would we censor that, I'm sure it happens all the time on Times Now, and correcting Arnab seems like a very bad idea... :)

And nodding in agreement when anchors on TV refer you to as "Senior Advocate" and not correcting the producer when the ticker shows "Senior Advocate" is a great idea, isn't it?

Mahalakshmi Pavani is the Daughter-in-law of Senior Advocate P.P.Rao, right?
