Aryama Sundaram

Indian lawyer

C. Aryaman Sundaram is an Indian lawyer who practices in the Supreme Court of India. He is famously one of the wealthiest and most highly remunerated lawyers in India,[1][2] as well as one of the most well-connected,[3] with a distinctive creativity and originality in theory and argumentation.[1] He is often referred to as one of India's 'Legal Eagles'[4] \- one of the absolute foremost lawyers in India.[5][6][1]

He was the youngest in the history of the Madras High Court to be designated as a senior advocate.[7] He has represented the Board of Control for Cricket in India, Anil Ambani and several other high-profile clients at various judicial forums, including representing the Mistry family against Tata & Sons,[8][9] the Travancore Devaswom Board in matters relating to the Sabarimala Temple and its admissions policy,[10] Haldia Petrochemicals and Cyrus Mistry, BALCO, Khushwant Singh against pre-release banning and suppression of his book, Minister V. Senthil Balaji,[11] and Nikhil Gupta as charged for the attempted assassination of Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.[12]

Sundaram primarily practices corporate law but also takes up constitutional law and media related cases. He was a lawyer in the S. Rangarajan case which resulted in one of the landmark judgments on the freedom of speech and expression.[7][9]

He is a member of the greater Calamur family, with Sir C. P. Ramaswami Iyer for a grandfather and Justices Sir C. V. Kumaraswami Sastri and C.V. Viswanatha Sastri as great-uncles, in addition to his actual uncle and Indira Gandhi-era Minister for Law, C. R. Pattabhiraman.[citation needed]
