Supreme Court Judge's Nostalgic Letter To Judicial Officers Of Bihar

Supreme Court judge Justice Sanjay Karol said he is also "a son of the soil of Bihar, for truly, whoever comes to this great state, forever thence, belongs to it..."

Supreme Court judge Justice Sanjay Karol has written a letter to all the judges of the Patna High Court and lower courts appreciating their support in ensuring Bihar's judicial bodies ran smoothly during the COVID-19 pandemic, sources in the state's judicial services have told NDTV.

Justice Karol became Chief Justice of the Patna High Court in November 2019, just months before the full impact of the Covid pandemic reached India and the lockdown began.

In the letter written last month during the Chhath Puja - Bihar's most important festival - Justice Karol said he is also "a son of the soil of Bihar, for truly, whoever comes to this great state, forever thence, belongs to it - and hence, this figurative return to my judicial family of Bihar."
