Today, On 23rd May, Justice Abhay S Oka, on his retirement day, said a judge must be firm and sometimes “able to offend” to uphold justice. He emphasized that firmness is essential for judges to make difficult but necessary decisions.
Justice Oka rushed to Mumbai after receiving news of his mother’s death, informing CJI BR Gavai and fellow judges. He performed her last rites in Thane and is set to return to work just two days later.
