এই ঘরে এক সময় বসতেন বহু বিখ্যাত আইনজীবী। তাঁদের মধ্যে দু একটি নাম উল্লেখ করছি । নকড়ি মুখার্জী, অমূল্য ধন মুখার্জী ,অনিল সরকার,পঞ্চানন সমাদ্দার।তারা শঙ্কর মুখার্জী,হিমাংশু মুখার্জী।আর একজনের নাম তো করতেই হবে, যার সাথে পক্ষে বিপক্ষে বহু মামলা করেছি, তিনি আলোক আদক । আমি প্রথম কোর্টে এসে অবাক হয়ে দেখেছিলাম এক তরুণ আইনজীবী সিভিল কোর্টের বাঘা বাঘা লইয়ার দের বিরুদ্ধে লড়াই করছে । আমাদের দুর্ভাগ্য অল্প বয়েসেই প্রাকটিসের মধ্যগগনে হটাৎ মারা যান। চলুন এবার ৩ নং ঘরে। এ ঘর যিনি আলো করে থাকতেন তিনি হলেন, নান আদার দেন রঞ্জিত কুমার মিত্র। সুদর্শন সুপুরুষ প্রাণবন্ত খুরোধার বুদ্ধি। খুব ব্যাস্ত উকিল ছিলেন ।

An outstanding development during this period has been the establishment of constitutional relationship between the Centre and the State of Hyderabad.
