During the farewell function of Justice B Veerappa of Karnataka High Court, he said that people approach the judiciary as the last resort. It is the only temple worshipped by every citizen of India, regardless religion, caste, sex, place of birth.

“It is the last stop of the people after every knock of all doors fail. People approach the judiciary as the last resort. It is the only temple worshipped by every citizen of this nation, regardless religion, caste, sex, place of birth”.

Judiciary, however, is distinctly different from other organs and its function is divine, the judge stated.

He further added that “Indian judiciary has by and large enjoyed immense public confidence. The greatest asset and strongest weapon in the armoury of judiciary, is the confidence it commands and the faith it inspires in the minds of the people in its capacity to do even under justice and keep the scale in balance in any dispute. Citizens have always considered the judiciary as the ultimate guardian of the rights and liberties”.

Justice also advised lawyers and judges to ensure calmness in the minds of the public and should pledge to eliminate corruption.

“It is a major obstacle to the growth of the country and the future generation. We the judges, stop of the entire judicial system, should pledge to eliminate corruption. We should become a role model to all other organs of the State. Thereby it is high time to both lawyers and judges to ensure calmness in the minds of the public and to protect the majesty of the esteemed institution”.
