In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Voice of Mogasala, host Siva Kalyan Mogasala speaks with one of Telangana’s most respected legal warriors, Senior Advocate Umarani G, whose nearly twenty-five years of legal practice have been dedicated not only to the courtroom but to the lives of ordinary people. Known for her deep concern for middle-class and below poverty line families, she has argued several life-changing cases across the courts of Telangana and before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. Through her tireless legal efforts, hundreds of families today live with dignity, having secured their jobs, pensions, homes and rightful benefits after years of struggle and uncertainty. Umarani G has handled a wide range of matters including creamy layer disputes, negative marks issues, local and non-local employment conflicts, pay protection, regularisation and pension cases, arbitration, civil and real estate disputes, restitution of conjugal rights, company law and banking matters. She presently serves as the Legal Counsel for the Bar Council of Telangana and as the Senior Standing Counsel for Bank of Baroda. Trained under Sri S. Ramachandra Rao, Senior Advocate and former Advocate General of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, she also served in key roles under the Office of the Advocate General and the Legal Services Authority at the High Court. Her selfless service has been recognised with prestigious honours such as the Nyaya Sri Award, Savitribai Phule Award and Jhansi Lakshmi Bai Award, reflecting her lifelong commitment to justice and social responsibility. In this episode, she shares real courtroom experiences that are shocking, emotional and sometimes even humorous, giving listeners a rare look into how the law actually works on the ground. From explaining what House Motion really means, to clarifying why a tenant can never become the owner of a property, she breaks down complex legal concepts in simple language. She narrates disturbing Habeas Corpus cases that reveal how liberty can be misused, speaks about cases fought against the police, and even recounts an unforgettable divorce case involving something as small as a Dove soap, showing how strange human disputes can become inside courtrooms. The conversation also dives deep into student and employment issues that affected thousands of families in Telangana. Umarani G explains the Group 1 examination controversy, the right of students to demand timely job notifications from the government, and why suspension should be treated only as an enquiry and not as punishment. She discusses her first historic case in South India, her landmark role in removing negative marks in constable examinations, and the famous second wife case that remains one of the most interesting legal battles of her career. The episode further examines compassionate employment, questioning whether it is truly fair or misused, and reflects on why society has slowly begun to lose confidence in courts. Beyond legal battles, this episode also highlights the human side of Umarani G. A passionate sportsperson who has won in Kabaddi, Cricket, Throwball and Tug of War, she embodies discipline, courage and resilience both inside and outside the courtroom. Her journey stands as a reminder that strength of character and service to society are as important as professional success. This episode is especially valuable for students, government job aspirants, law students, advocates, property buyers, tenants and every citizen who wants to understand their rights better.
