Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman was part of the historic Supreme Court judgment that ended a colonial-era law that deemed homosexuality a crime.
Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman, the second most senior Supreme Court judge after Chief Justice NV Ramana and a high profile judge involved in several landmark judgments, retired today with the legal fraternity praising his legacy. "This institution will miss his knowledge and intellect...He was one of the pillars of our strong judicial system. He always stood for what is right," Chief Justice NV Ramana said in an emotional address at his farewell, "I am little overwhelmed. I am finding it difficult to express my thoughts," Chief Justice Ramana confessed. On his last working day, Justice Nariman sat with the Chief Justice in Court no. 1 of the Supreme Court, a tradition for retiring judges.More Related News
