Sticks and stones are thrown only at trees that bear fruits, remarks Justice Kathawalla
It’s the annual summer vacation for the Bombay High Court but among the other judges hearing important matters, Justice Shahrukh J. Kathawalla and Justice Surendra P. Tavade have been burning the midnight oil. On May 21, the Bench, along with its court staff, heard matters till midnight, and while granting relief to former Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh said, “Since we would cease to be vacation judges at the stroke of 12 a.m., we adjourn the hearing to May 24,” and directed the Maharashtra government to not arrest him till then. Justice Kathawalla has a record of sorts in having heard matters till 3.30 a.m. in May 2018. He always ensures that the Bench he leads finishes each case that has been listed before it, without looking at the clock.More Related News
