Fourth senior-most Supreme Court judge Justice MR Shah on Monday got emotional in the courtroom on his last day in office, saying he is not a person to retire and will start a new inning in life.
Sitting on the ceremonial bench presided over by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice Shah broke down at the end of his address and quoted lines from Raj Kapoor's iconic song "jeena yaha, marna yaha".
"I am not a person to retire and I am going to start a new inning of my life. I am praying to the almighty God to give me strength and courage and good health to play the new inning," said Justice Shah.
"Before parting, I would like to remember a song by Raj Kapoor ‘kal khel me hum ho na ho, gardish me tare rahenge sada',” he said choking with emotions.
