The Lady Templeman-Master Singhvi Memorial Travel Fellowship - India

This scholarship was originally set up, and funded, by Lord Templeman, a Bencher of the Inn, and Master Singhvi, the Indian High Commissioner in the UK from 1991 to 1997 and an Honorary Bencher. Master Singhvi’s son, Dr Abishek Singhvi, most generously enabled us to continue the scheme for ten years after his father’s death. The scheme was closed in 2017. 

The award was established for members of the Middle Temple to facilitate an informal fact-finding and bond-building tour of about three weeks’ duration.

Successful applicants were based in New Delhi observing judges, lawyers and courts at work. The scholarship provided the opportunity to learn about the places, people and proceedings of the Indian legal system.
