Late K.G.Shah, had served as judge of High Court of Gujarat and also at Bombay High Court.
After retirement, he had come to Delhi to practice as a Senior Advocate in Supreme Court.
He and his wife lived alone in my neighbourhood.
They were elderly couple. Aged about 70.
He once told me his cash-principles.
He said he never kept cash more than about Rs.1500/- over night in his house.
All fees were received by him by cheques.
If cash fee were paid, he made a point to ask his servant to deposit it in nearby ATM of his bank.
He did not keep cash over night at home..
As judge, he must have seen many cases were elderly couples, widows, widowers, living alone, are killed by servants for money.
Not keeping any cash at home is a good safety principle for elderly people living alone in their homes.
