Ceremonial bench proceedings underway to mark the last working day of Justice Abhay S Oka

AG R Venkataramani: All of us got equal treatment in your court. I have cherished the questioning moments. By working so tirelessly you have set bad standards for your law clerks as some even forgot to go home..Image
SG Tushar Mehta: Despite such an irreparable loss you treated duty as a judge first. You could have addressed virtually also. This shows duty. Please spare more time for family. You have often been much more prepared than lawyers. Your lordships services are required and please do not close any door
.
SG: you may not believe in God, but i believe, May God be always on your side. Me and ASG Raju were almost always at the wrong side of the judgment ..but our love and respect for you was never affected. We respect your for who you are.
