Section 27A should not be attracted (on merits of this case)

Former Supreme Court judge Justice Abhay S Oka to shortly deliver the Late Justice H.R. Khanna Memorial Lecture on "Independence of Judiciary" organised by the Goa HC Bar Association
#SupremeCourt
Justice AS Oka: I must clarify that when it comes to independence of judiciary, irrespective of the party in power, irrespective of the fact whether there is emergency or not, there is always a threat to independence of judiciary. And therefore, the members of the judicial fraternity, namely the judges and members of the bar have to be always alert and ensure that independence remains
Justice Oka: Let us also say here that there are judges and Chief Justices of the Supreme Court, who have been already forgotten, but there are large number of judges of the High Court who never went to the Supreme Court, and they are remembered forever. There are judges of the Supreme Court who did not become Chief Justices of India, but they are remembered forever. I am giving an example of our Mumbai High Court only biopic. We had Chief Justice M.C. Chagla, Justice Chittutosh Mukherjee, Justice P.D. Desai, and Justice M.L. Pence. These great judges never went to the Supreme Court, but we fondly remember them. I can add many names to that, like Justice Vimadala, Justice Lentin, and so many other names can be added.

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.
