Stating that her elevation to the apex court came as a pleasant surprise, Telangana high court Chief Justice Hima Kohli requested the people to keep the crosswinds of democratic traditions, free-thinking and free exchange of ideas flowing and to blow away the cobwebs of casteism, regionalism and provincialism.
“Our oath is to the Constitution of India and our religion is rule of law,” Justice Kohli said at her a farewell at the first court on Friday afternoon. Later, Telangana HC Advocates’ Association also accorded her a warm farewell.
Thanking all the judges, officers and staff for extending whole-hearted support during her stint as CJ, she said that Telangana and Hyderabad were warm, friendly and a great mix of both tradition and modernity.
Referring to her appointment to the SC, Justice Kohli said that she had actually made arrangements to return to Delhi after her retirement at the end of this month.
“I was ready with my bags packed for bidding farewell to you on September 1, but then the recent fortuitous developments have opened the doors of the Supreme Court for me. I am thankful to Honourable Chief Justice of India, Justice N V Ramana, and members of the collegium for giving me an opportunity to serve in the highest court of the land. I am grateful to the Divine for allowing me such an opportunity,” she said.
“Brother Justice Ramachandra Rao and Justice Rajasheker Reddy have been only a call away for any assistance I have required in the administration of courts. Justice Naveen Rao has played an active role in several committees and helped me in moving things faster,” CJ said, thanking them profusely.
Justice M S Ramachandra Rao said that she displayed several qualities that were worthy of emulation for the legal fraternity. Advocate General BS Prasad said that through judicial intervention the CJ guided the state machinery to tackle the second wave of pandemics.
“Through the pandemic, she led the way and ensured that the doors of justice remained open for the public,” the AG said.
