GP Sir: The Silent Sculptor of Justice from Chandigarh

In the serene city of Chandigarh, where the Punjab and Haryana High Court stands tall as a beacon of law and order, resides a man whose impact reaches far beyond courtrooms. Advocate Gurinder Pal Singh, fondly known as GP Sir, is not just a respected figure in the legal fraternity—he is a mentor, a guide, and for many, an angel who walked into their lives with purpose.

GP Sir’s journey is the stuff of inspiration. A self-made legal mind, deeply respected in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, he never let his success overshadow his roots. Having once walked the path of struggle himself, he saw in others what few ever care to notice—potential buried under poverty, brilliance overlooked by society.

But what makes GP Sir’s story extraordinary is not his practice—it is his purpose.

For years, GP Sir has quietly trained students from the bottom of the pyramid—those with dreams too big for their circumstances, and pockets too small for coaching fees. These were students from rural Haryana, small-town Punjab, and underserved urban colonies. And GP Sir never charged a fee. Not once.

He trained them not just for exams, but for life in black robes. He taught them the nuances of law, the power of ethics, and most importantly, the strength to believe in themselves. His evenings, weekends, and holidays were spent building something no money could buy—a new generation of judges.

Today, the results of his dedication shine across courtrooms in Punjab and Haryana. Nearly 20 judges—yes, 20—in the lower judiciary owe their journey to the selfless guidance of GP Sir. Many of them were first-generation graduates. Some came from farming families, others from homes where dreams were considered luxuries. But with his mentorship, they rose—each one a testament to the transformative power of one man’s belief.

One young woman, now serving as a judge in the Haryana judiciary, said it best:

“GP Sir didn’t just teach us law—he made us believe that the bench was within our reach. His voice echoes in my courtroom every time I pronounce judgment.”

Another judge from Punjab remarked:

“He turned our fears into confidence and our doubts into discipline. Without GP Sir, I wouldn’t be wearing this robe today.”

Despite his towering achievements and reverence in the legal world, GP Sir remains humble. When asked why he devotes so much of his life to mentoring, his reply is simple:

“These young minds are the future of our judiciary. Justice should not depend on privilege—it should be powered by merit and character.”

To some, he is an advocate. To many, he is a legend. But to those 20 judges—and to countless others whose lives he continues to shape—GP Sir is justice in human form. A silent sculptor carving futures in the name of fairness.
