The legal fraternity, and indeed all who knew him, are left poorer by the passing of Vepa Sarathi – a great practitioner, prodigious scholar, versatile teacher, and above all, a man with a terrific sense of humour.
For those who may not have had an opportunity to listen to Sarathi in his element, and for the privileged many who have: here’s a sampling from 2007. An audio clip of Vepa Sarathi doing what he does best – making us laugh and learn at the same time.
We will miss him, his wisdom, his smile, and his jokes.
Vepa – Law, Literature and Humour (.mp3, 109 minutes)
Special acknowledgment: Parameshwar Krishnaswamy and Vinay Kesari, lawyers, who took the initiative to organize what were known then as ‘Sarathi Tuesdays’, and had the foresight to digitize these lectures.

Thanks for the audio clip. Would be great if the other lectures of his are uploaded so that those among us who have religiously relied on his books for learning get the benefit of listening to him. A blog post containing a bibliography of his writings and writings about him would go a long way in recognising his contributions. NALSAR could also organise a conference to discuss his writings and his impact on Indian Law. Also, it would be great if somebody writes a biography of the great man.
