Veerasamy Sivagnanam, a former Madras High Court judge, has been missing in Nepal after flash floods and landslides struck the country.
The Delhi Tamil Advocates Association has appealed to the Chief Justice of India and the Government of India for help in tracing him.
According to the association, he was travelling with a group of Tamil pilgrims and last communicated with his wife on August 26 via WhatsApp.
