‘Justice Ujjal Bhuyan opened the temple of justice doors to public’

Telangana High Court Chief Justice Ujjal Bhuyan would be remembered as the person who opened the doors of the temple of justice to the public by taking the initiative of streaming live the High Court proceedings, said Advocate-General B.S. Prasad on Thursday.

Speaking at the Full Court meeting bidding farewell to Justice Bhuyan, who had been elevated as Judge of the Supreme Court, the AG said the Chief Justice’s endeavour to run the High Court in Hybrid Mode helped the legal fraternity immensely. The Hybrid Mode helped lawyers to present their contentions online when they could not physically appear before the First Court, he said.

Describing Justice Bhuyan as an epitome of patience, hard work and humanity, the AG said the outgoing Chief Justice’s verdicts were signs of his positive approach towards the downtrodden. The AG recalled how Justice Bhuyan suo motu took up the death of two manual scavengers in Kondapur as PIL petition and rendered justice to the families of the workers.
