Sir Nikhilesh Dutta (born January 5, 1939) is a Bangladeshi barrister who was called to the Bar as a Member of the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple, London, England. For his contribution in promoting inter-religious harmony, he was conferred with a knighthood as a Knight Bachelor by Queen Elizabeth II in 2007.[1] Dutta, with a legal practice in the Supreme Court of Bangladesh, was the first national who was called to the Bar as a barrister on 8 February 1972 from independent Bangladesh.[2]
Dutta started his career in the early 1970s and became one of the prominent leading advocates of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh. He also held the post of the Deputy Attorney General for the Government of Bangladesh for 11 years.[3] His areas of practice and experience include both civil and criminal matters. Though he started his career as a criminal litigant lawyer, Dutta chose to switch to civil practice, which includes constitutional law practice too. One of the special areas of practice that Dutta possesses is that even though he is a Hindu by birth, Dutta has experience in Islamic law.[4]
In his career as a barrister, Dutta has also been involved with many charitable organizations.[citation needed] As a managing trustee of Mahesh Charitable Organisation, he has been handling various legal matters.
