Both the lawyers are part of Jaitley's inner circle of senior advocates which he led during their morning walk in Lodhi Gardens – in the heart of Lutyens' Delhi. After the walk, Jaitley and his crew would sit on the same set of three benches under a tree each day. Jaitley sat on the central bench of the durbar with the others milling around him. Since his induction into the cabinet, Jaitley has taken to completing his morning exercise at home. The panchayat is now headed by Rohatgi and, in his absence, Ranjit Kumar often takes over leadership of the pack.
