Decided On March 06, 2024

CHIEF JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The first thing that came racing to my mind, while hearing this matter, was virtually the talismanic statement of justice Joseph Story; "Law is a jealous mistress and requires long and constant courtship. It is not to be won by trifling favours, but by lavish homage".

(2.) And that is why Lord Elton advised that a lawyer and a judge should live like a hermit and work like a horse.

(3.) The Bar and the Bench must work tirelessly to stay abreast of the legal metamorphism; being integral parts of the same mechanism, which administers justice. They operate in tandem, each fulfilling distinct yet vital functions within the legal framework.
