Two Lama saw a man climbing down from a mountain. The man was CJI S.H.Kapadia

In mountains of Tibet

Two lama saw a man climbing down from a mountain.

Younger Lama asked Elder Lama,
"Look at that man
Does he not look taller than the mountain? Who is he?"

Elder Lama replied,
"He is Chief Justice S. H. Kapadia.
He is retiring as CJI"

"Why does he look taller
Than the mountain! "
Younger Lama asked

"Because he mastered
Every First Principle of Law.
And, therefore, he looks taller than the mountain." Elder Lama replied.

"What are the First Principles of Law? How can one master them?"
Asked younger Lama

"First read all laws which are required to be seen.
Then close all law books.
Then close your eyes
And go back in history
Where there were no codified laws.
Then think what judges of those times may have said.

You will soon begin to see
Glimpses of First Principles of Law"
Elder Lama replied.

"Tell me about contribution of Justice Kapadia to nation."
Asked Younger Lama

Elder Lama replied,

"First he made every Parsi proud. Though being in micro-minority,
He made all nation proud of Parsi.

"Second, he uplifted bar of moral standards in public life,
By setting aside appointment of CVC on ground that charge of corruption was pending against him.

"Third, he uplifted prestige of Rule of Law in India In International Law
In Vodafone case.

"Fourth, he proved that even in a corruption clad environment,
It is possible to maintain principles.

"Fifth, he made every pageboy proud. He was just a pageboy in a lawyer's office. From there he reached to the Top."

Elder Lama thus summarized
Contribution of the judge
