Dehradun, January 12
NN Goel, doyen of Dehra Dun lawyers, died here this morning following a cardiac arrest. He was 92. His wife Rajni of 65 years had died 13 days before on December 31 last.
Members of the Bar and the judiciary turned up in large numbers to mourn the death of Dehra Dun’s seniormost lawyer who continued to attend courts till the very end. The courts remain closed today to pay homage to Goel.
He was also recently felicitated by the Dehra Dun Bar Association for being the longest practising lawyer. A large number of people attended his cremation this afternoon.
He was truly a great man, well respected and loved by everyone. Being his grandson, it is hard to express my sorrow and this loss in the form of a fatherly figure. May his soul rest in peace.
