“I am prepared to stand in front of Vidhana Soudha and the High Court and behead myself if I make a mistake... that is the spirit with which I work as a judge...” said an emotional Justice B. Veerappa, a judge of the High Court of Karnataka, on Friday.
This was how he expressed “anguish and pain” over recent instances of some advocates making baseless allegations and casting aspersion on judges during court proceedings.
Justice Veerappa was addressing the advocates during an event organised by the Advocates’ Association Bengaluru (AAB), to bid farewell to Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi.
