At the outset, Divya Gupta (granddaughter of late Ram Swaroop Gupta) read a detailed paper on life and works of his grandfather. She explained how he started his career as Pleader in 1937 and reached to the height of Registrar General of J&K High Court.
Capt Lalit Sharma (convener NDS and former APCCF) in his opening address said that they need to apprise their young generation about the outstanding contributions of late Ram Swaroop Gupta who is known for his landmark judgments, outstanding administrative acumen and commitment to the social welfare.
