Tributes
"With the passing of Rajiv Luthra, the Indian legal fraternity and we personally have lost a dear friend and a tall leader. A wonderful human being with a zest for life, a large heart and an ever beaming smile backed by a loud guffaw, is how we will remember him. Rajiv was generous, affectionate and a great host. He went far too early and had a lot to do yet. We pray that the family and the law firm he leaves behind muster the strength to bear this loss with grace and courage, which were the abiding traits of Rajiv. May his soul rest in peace and he gets moksha."
