Hyderabad:Justice Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha, judge of the Supreme Court, said that society was focused on individuality and was person-centric, instead of developing a sense of institutionalism. Justice Narasimha said that an institution, in every sphere, would transcend the individual, bring plurality, provide psychological and infrastructural support and develop commonality of thought.
Stressing on the concept of developing institutionalism, especially in the judiciary, Justice Narasimha advised members of the district judiciary to be part of the institution to serve the country and the people.
He opined that even in the judiciary, the High Courts or the Supreme Court, the system had developed to be Chief Justice-centric. That may be due to the long-term effect of colonialism and the system was changing.
Justice Narasimha was speaking at the biennial conference conducted by Telangana State Judges Association at the State Judicial Academy on Saturday.
Righteous conduct, knowledge, focus, task and hard work were important to judges, and they should adopt “Dharmam, Shrutham, Thapam, Deeksham and Vyavasayam.”
Justice Narasimha said that an advocate may focus on the self. But once they become judges, they must involve in the concept of institutionalism.
Telangana acting Chief Justice Sujoy Paul emphasised the necessity to introspect on one’s actions performing duties. He also stressed the concept of interaction with others like in the workplace and with colleagues.
More than 400 judicial officers of the district judiciary and High Court judges participated in the event. Telangana Judges Association president K. Prabhakar Rao and general secretary K. Murali Mohan said the conference was conceived with the theme of ‘Justice at grassroots and role of the district judiciary and judicial well-being with personal excellence’.
Justice Narasimha presented a memo to Asadullah Shareef, junior civil Judge at the Luxettipet court, for his article regarding judicial well-being.
