John Michael Cunha, judge, High Court of Karnataka, who as a district judge had convicted former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa in a disproportionate assets case in 2014, retired from service on Tuesday after serving as a judge of the High Court for around four years. While addressing a farewell ceremony organised by the High Court and the Karnataka State Bar Council, High Court Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka lauded the service rendered by Judge Cunha while recalling the observations made by the Supreme Court in its verdict of upholding Ms. Jayalalithaa’s conviction. Citing the apex court’s observation that “...the Trial Court was meticulous, sensitive, vigilant and judicious in appraisal of evidences,” the Chief Justice said that such an observation by the apex court was a great honour for a judicial officer.
