Justice Deepak Gupta : An Uncompromising Judge

Live Law  

The average tenure of a Judge of the Supreme Court of India is about four years. If a Judge has more than five years, he/she would definitely retire from the front courts ; be a member of the collegium - determine who is elevated to the Supreme Court; if sitting in the first three courts, the person would also have a say in who becomes a High Court judge anywhere in India. Justice Deepak Gupta had just over three years in the Supreme Court. It did not matter to him what was at stake – be it crores of rupees or thousand kilograms of heroin – if there was a wrong done by the government, a citizen of this country deserved justice and in Justice Gupta's court he would surely get it. Well before his retirement, Justice Gupta was mentioned as one of the best in the Court by all sections of the lawyers.
