★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This map of Bar Association, in the oldest High Court in India, is created by me. The Bar Association Room No. 2 of the Calcutta High Court carries history of renowned lawyers and advocates since this Court established on 1st July, 1862. Earlier this Court was the Court of India during British India. Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee CSI, FRSE, FRAS, FPSL, MRIA, a prolific Bengali educator, jurist, barrister and mathematician and helped in founding of the University College of Law popularly known as Hazra Law College, often called "Banglar Bagh" (Tiger of Bengal) used to sit in this Bar Association Room No. 2.
At the age of 24, Mukherjee became a Fellow of the Calcutta University. Turning down a job offer in the Department of Public Instruction in order to complete his Bachelor of Law degree, he received his degree in 1888 and enrolled as a vakil of the Calcutta High Court. By 1897, he had received an LL.D. and was appointed the Tagore Professor of Law of the Calcutta University in that year. In 1904, he was appointed a puisne judge of the High Court, and subsequently served as its acting Chief Justice for a couple of years.
Mukherjee was influential in the University affairs throughout his life. From the age of 25, he was a member of its Syndicate, serving on the University Senate and Syndicate for the next 16 years. He served as President of the Board of Studies in Mathematics for 11 years, and represented his university in the Bengal Legislative Council from 1899 to 1903. He was appointed Vice-Chancellor from 1906 to 1914 and again from 1921 to 1923. He was instrumental in discovering the talents of C. V. Raman and S. Radhakrishnan.The French scholar Sylvain Lévi commented : Had this Bengal Tiger been born in France, he would have exceeded even Georges Clemenceau, the French Tiger. Ashutosh had no peer in the whole of Europe.
