Chief Justice of India SA Bobde, who demitted office on Friday, said in his farewell speech, “I leave with the satisfaction that I did my best…I hand over the baton to Justice (NV) Ramana who will, I am sure, very ably lead the court.”

Attorney General KK Venugopal, Supreme Court Bar Association President Vikas Singh and senior advocates heaped praise on him for leading the judiciary during the pandemic.

“When the pandemic broke out, CJI Bobde started virtual hearing and almost 50,000 cases have been disposed of. It’s a great achievement,” Venugopal said. CJI Bobde dealt with several key matters, including the historic Ayodhya verdict. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
