Won't do anything to shatter people's faith in judiciary: Retired top court judge

.

Supreme Court judge Justice CT Ravikumar, who retired on Friday, said that he would keep his word of not doing anything to shatter the confidence of people in the judiciary even after his retirement.

Speaking at his retirement event, Justice Ravikumar said when he was sworn in as a judge, he had stated that he would not be doing anything, which would shatter the confidence of people in the judiciary. He also said he would keep his word.

Describing the judiciary as a guardian of law, Justice Ravikumar said he would respect the institution and continue to do so as a law-abiding citizen.

"Time has come to bid adieu. I have complete satisfaction, but it's for legal fraternity and the people to say whether it was satisfactory or not," he said.
