Tayābji had attended the 1st session of the INC founded by Hume. When he was elected president of the 3rd INC session at Madras many Mohammedan leaders who had (advised by Sir Sayyed Ahmad Khan of Aligarh) kept aloof from INC, joined it. Tayābji was the first Indian barrister of Bombay to be appointed a judge of the Bombay High Court 1895. When the first sedition case against Tilak came up in 1897 & Justice M.G. Ranade refused him bail & Tayābji granted it.
