Pro Bono and Legal Reform
Mr. Sood’s engagement with pro bono work has remained steady throughout his legal career. He has represented undertrials, argued for systemic fairness, and taken up cases involving procedural abuse, prolonged detention, or denial of access to legal aid. His pro bono appearances are selected on whether the case raises an important legal principle that deserves to be heard.
Earlier in his career, he initiated the Society for Criminal Justice, a platform through which he engaged with inmates in Tihar Jail and appeared in several matters without fee. He continues to maintain space in his practice for such briefs, often involving vulnerable litigants or marginalised voices within the justice system.
His approach remains clear: pro bono work is not charity, it is a professional responsibility when the law falls silent for those who need it most.
