Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Wednesday wrote to Meghalaya High Court Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and wished him well on all his post retirement endeavours. The CM also recalled the service rendered by him to the State of Tamil Nadu during his stint as the Chief Justice of Madras High Court between January 4, 2021 and November 16, 2021.
“I take this opportunity to convey my heartiest wishes on your successful completion of a sagacious era in judiciary spanning over three decades. The landmark judgements you have delivered to uphold the freedom of speech mandated by our Constitution are a marvellous and magnificent contribution to the vibrant democratic principles of our country,” he said.
He also said that Chief Justice Banerjee had earned the love and affection of the people of Tamil Nadu by having been a honest and fearless judge. “I am of the view that you are an institution for the younger generation to emulate... I still remember your golden observation that this is a secular country and secularism implies tolerance towards other religions,” he added.
