Learning from a District Judge V. S. Moghe
He was District Judge around 1983 in Junagadh. I had just joined District Court.
I saw that there were so many touts moving in compound. There are rules that District Judge can prohibit entries of touts in court.
One day, with few junior advocates, I approached him with a representation to remove touts from court compound.
Here, he gave me a life- rule which I remember even today.
"Never kick in stomach of someone. Never kick in livelihood of some one. He will fight back with all his might"
I understood. Thereafter I never complained about any touts though I saw them in plenty in High Court and Supreme Court compounds.
They are unavoidable part of system.
Another thing which I learned from this District Judge was,
"Graces are no good things."
If you are getting something because someone is kind to you, this is not a good thing for you.
