In 1861, he joined Dewani Adalat as assistant record keeper. Having acquired experience in law matters he was posted as a court clerk issuing decrees. He wrote a book about the faults in the system of issuing decrees and attracted the attention of the government. The laws were modified with his assistance. He qualified as a lawyer in 1848 and started practising as a criminal lawyer. He taught law at Presidency College and became a senior government counsel. When the high court was established at Kolkata, he became the first Indian to be a judge of the high court.〔According to Gopa Sabharwal, “1861 - British Parliament enacts the Indian High Courts Act, abolishes the old Sadr Adalat (courts generally inherited by the Company from their native predecessors) and sets up new High Courts of Judicature in Calcutta, Madras and Bombay.” ''The Indian Millennium 1000-2001'', 200/2002, p379, Penguin Books.〕 He used to contribute articles on law matters in the ''Hindu Patriot'', then being edited by Harish Chandra Mukherjee.〔
He was a founder member of British Indian Association. When Bethune School was established in 1849, he admitted his daughter in the institution.〔
