Learning from Justice S B Majmudar, former judge Supreme Court of India
He was a great judge. There is a reason for saying this.
A judge is supposed to Listen and Understand first. And then judge.
Justice Majmudar has a great skill in listening.
He would first listen what a lawyer has to say. And then he will paraphrase it and summarise in his own words and will ask lawyer, is this what he wanted to say? If lawyers says yes, this is what he wanted to say.
Then he will turn to other side lawyer and will listen to him in similar way.
After understanding both sides fully, then he will judge.
This is a great quality of a judge. This is what impressed me most about this judge.
