Devanesh Sharma is a Fijian lawyer of Indian descent. On 9 September 2006, he was elected to succeed Graeme Leung as President of the Fiji Law Society. [1]

Sharma strongly condemned the military coup that toppled the elected government of Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase on 5 December 2006, and criticized some of his fellow lawyers who supported or worked with the Republic of Fiji Military Forces. [2]

He dismissed as unconstitutional the swearing-in of Commodore Frank Bainimarama as Interim Prime Minister on 5 January 2007, [3] but accepted the interim Cabinet sworn in on 8-9 January. [4]
