Singhvi was born in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, into a Marwari Jain family. He had two brothers, Prasanna Mall Singhvi and Gulab Mall Singhvi, and two sisters, Pushpa Sett and Chandra Bhandari. Singhvi was educated in Jodhpur, taking bachelor's degrees first in Arts and then in Law.

Legal career

After taking a degree in law, Singhvi began his legal practice at the Jodhpur trial and sessions courts. He practiced as an advocate for several years before contesting and winning the election to Parliament from the Jodhpur (Lok Sabha constituency) in 1962. During his five-year term as MP, his appearances in court were necessarily limited by the demands of work in parliament and in his constituency, and his law practice suffered. However, Singhvi served only a single term in the Lok Sabha and lost the elections of 1967. He then returned to his law practice full-time, but he abandoned his practice in the district court and began practicing at the Rajasthan High Court and the Supreme Court of India. His practice now flourished and he was named Advocate General of State of Rajasthan for the period 1972–77. He was later designated a Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court of India.
