Sr Adv Vikas Singh: We are grateful to CJI Ramana, Justices AM Khanwilkar and R Subhramanium who are present here today. It's a historic day on the 75th Independence Day
CJI: Today is a very happy and historic day. Apart from celebrating the day it is an occasion for all of us to rethink and review our politics and what we have achieved and what we have to achieve in the future. 75 years is not a small period in country's history

#Supremecourt
CJI: We were given jaggery and murmura in school. Lot of development has taken place since then. Small things given to us in school made us happy. even though today we get so many facilities we are not happy this is because are saturation levels have hit the bottom
CJI: The independence struggle was led by lawyers, whether it is Babu Rajendra Prasad or Mahatma Gandhi who were legal luminaries and sacrificed their property and life. First members of look sabha and Rajya Sabha are all lawyers
CJI: But we know what is happening in the houses with respect to laws. There used to be debates in the parliament, there was a debate regarding the Industrial Disputes Act and a member from Tamil Nadu used to discuss so elaborately how it affected working class
CJI: So when courts interpreted the laws it was easy as we knew legislative intent. NOW IT IS SORRY STATE OF AFFAIRS. There are a lot of gaps and we don't know why the laws are being made.
CJI: This is causing great inconvenience to public and this is what happens when lawyers are not there in the houses. I don't want to say more than this but its time for the legal community to step forward and take charge.
CJI: Supreme Court has played an active role in the country and we hope and expect we will contribute more. There are small issues but around 75 percent of the people in need have got legal aid. In Nov 26 and 27 we may have workshops on Constitution Day
CJI: I wish you all happy and peaceful Independence Day.

#supremeCourt
SG Tushar Mehta: My Lord (CJI) is the karta of Indian legal family and thus I have nothing to say much more. India is a young democracy... look around the neighbouring countries and they call themselves democracy and how it has failed partly.
SG Mehta: we have been able to sustain it how it was envisioned by framers of the Indian Constitution.

Secretary SCBA, Adv Ardhendumauli K Prasad delivers the vote of thanks.

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.
