Shri B. Datta

 In October 1983 there is a trouble at Nagpur where Shri Nathji’s books and baggage are lying in a rented house with a large hall and almirahs. The landlord there is threatening to break in, against the law. Both Shri Nathji and Priya Nath have to consult a senior advocate of the Supreme Court at his house, a certain Shri B. Datta, who drafts out a notice and also a telegram to stop the mischief.
Shri Nathji gives him his blessings and leaves. Many years later, on the 6th of September 1992, when Shri Nathji’s funeral procession was passing through the streets of Delhi, B. Datta found himself behind the vehicle carrying Shri Nathji’s body in the traffic. This was the last darshan he was to have of Shri Nathji who had come to his house once as a client.
