Chief Justice said in his farewell speech: Lawyers of Prayagraj have purity like Mother Ganga

Allahabad High Court Chief Justice Pritinkar Diwakar said in his farewell ceremony that anyone working in the judicial field who has not visited the Allahabad High Court has done nothing. The lawyers here have the purity and competence like Mother Ganga.

Speaking at the farewell ceremony organized by the High Court Bar Association on Monday, he said that I am one of those fortunate people who got the opportunity to serve as the Chief Justice of Asia’s largest High Court. The judicial activism of the lawyers here is amazing and commendable as compared to any other High Court. The experience gained during the tenure of five years is like a heritage. He came here from Chhattisgarh High Court in 2018. He was made the Chief Justice on 26 March 2023.

The Chief Justice said that there is a need to manage and understand the disposal of cases before criticizing. It is not appropriate to question the working style of the High Court without being involved in the administrative system. Seeing the lawyers who had come in large numbers, the emotional Chief Justice said that the transfer from Chhattisgarh to Allahabad High Court proved to be a boon for them. He will start a new journey after January 2024.

Good days will come for lawyers in six months

Hindi medium is not hindrance in progress, strike is hindrance

The Chief Justice dedicated the credit to his teacher father for reaching the destination of becoming the Chief of the High Court after studying in a Hindi medium government school. He advised the new lawyers to leave aside the hassle of Hindi and English and maintain continuity of study. He said that it is not wrong to raise voice for one’s rights, but there is a need to avoid strikes. One day’s strike proves to be an obstacle to progress for many days.
