Memon has written lesser-known details of controversial cases he fought in.
MUMBAI: Known for his bold choices, he built a reputation for tackling serious, often controversial cases and emerging victorious "80% of the time". Now senior advocate and former MP Majeed Memon is about to release his autobiography titled 'My Memoirs'. It includes little-known details of cases such as the Mumbai serial bomb blast case of 1993, music director Gulshan Kumar murder case, Ghatkopar blast case, and the Sanjay Dutt trial in the 1993 bomb blast case. And, these are only some of the 24 cases Memon has included in his book, which covers a career of over five decades.
The 284-page book reveals how Memon represented Nadeem Akhtar Saifi, one half of the famous Nadeem-Shravan composer-duo, in the Supreme Court in the United Kingdom. Nadeem, accused of conspiring to kill Gulshan Kumar by hiring the services of gangster Abu Salem from Dubai, was acquitted.
"At the time of the murder, Nadeem was in London as his wife was undergoing medical treatment and the Indian government had initiated extradition proceedings against him.
