Justice Chandra Dhari Singh, during his farewell, emphasized that judging goes beyond mere law application; it requires empathy and understanding of those affected. He highlighted the balance of wisdom and compassion, urging legal professionals to restore faith in the judiciary amid rising public skepticism. The legal system must exemplify humanity, not bureaucracy.
