advtanmoy 22/03/2021

The first significant thing is the essentially artistic quality of all literature.

  • A judge is the pillar of entire justice system and public has a right to demand virtually irreproachable conduct from a judge (SC-10/12/2019) - A person discharging judicial duties acts on behalf of the State in discharge of its sovereign functions.

Judges must strive for the highest standards of integrity in both their professional and personal lives.
