When Justice G.S.Singhvi ( 2G Judge) was a lawyer
One day, in morning a wretched looking man knocked at his door.
He was turned out from his job. Probably he was a fourth class employee.
He had no papers. No termination order, no appointment order, nothing.
And he had no money.
He, his wife and four children were now on road.
The lawyer gave him food. Then he wondered how to draft case of this man without any papers? How to help this man?
He filed a petition. Next day it was listed in court for hearing.
Judge said,"There is nothing in your case."
And then judge looked at lawyer for a response.
"Sir, this man has really suffered injustice. Please call the govt officer with service file of this man and see for yourself." Lawyer humbly said.
Judge had a impression about this lawyer. This lawyer was meticulous, painstaking and did not make worthless arguments.
The impression worked.
The Judge passed order and called govt officer with file of the man on next date.
On next hearing, the file showed that the man was illegally turned out. Govt order of termination was set aside.
The Man got his job back.
Many many years later, this man wrote a letter to lawyer, addressing him as his God.
