The case was initiated by Yash Tiwari, a Delhi-based lawyer, who is known for his expertise in court-driven policy shifts and the intersection of law and public policy. Tiwari, a Mumbai-based journalist, has been in the profession for two years and has previously worked at NDTV Profit as an assistant producer. Born in Kolkata, he has a special interest in Indian law and aims to make complex legal issues accessible to the general public. When not working, Tiwari enjoys cricket and discussing the evolving landscape of law and policy in India.",
