The Supreme Court Today (Aug 30) bid farewell to Justice Hima Kohli, who is retiring on September 1. During the farewell, Chief Justice of India (CJI) shared a light-hearted moment: in the morning, the first five judges visited his chamber for a collegium discussion. Justice Kohli humorously noted that they were there to fill her vacancy and hoped it would be a woman judge. Reflecting on her time at the Court, Justice Kohli described joining the Chief Justice as a stroke of luck, especially as a batchmate.
