Former Madras High Court Justice V Sivagnanam has been reported untraceable in Nepal since the onset of flash floods that have impacted several regions. Concerns for his safety have escalated, prompting the Delhi Tamil Advocates Association to reach out to Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant for immediate intervention.
In a letter addressed to the CJI, the bar body sought assistance in locating the retired judge and facilitating his safe return to India. While fellow pilgrims with whom Justice Sivagnanam was traveling have been rescued, efforts to establish contact with him have proven unsuccessful.
This unfolding situation underscores the challenges posed by natural disasters and the need for swift responses to ensure the safety of all individuals, particularly those in distinguished legal positions.
The incident raises important questions regarding preparedness and response protocols for legal professionals during crises, highlighting the necessity of institutional support in such unforeseen circumstances.
