Abhay Shreeniwas Oka was the best among the finest chief justices the High Court of Karnataka has seen, said several senior members of the Bengaluru Advocates’ Association (AAB) while felicitating him on becoming a judge of the Supreme Court of India. Describing him as “a judge of high calibre”, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the manner of functioning of Mr. Oka had made himself, as the then Law Minister, to take more care in taking decision to ensure that there was no ambiguity in the process that may come under judicial scrutiny before the then Chief Justice. Senior Advocate and former advocate general Uday Holla said, “In the course of my career as a lawyer I have seen and practised before at least 24 chief justices of the High Court of Karnataka. Without a fear of contradiction I can tell everyone of you that Justice Oka is the most hard working and focused of all the chief justices I have seen.”
