Supreme Court judge Justice AS Oka delivered a total of 11 verdicts on his last working day on Friday. The judgments also came a day after he lost his mother.
The news agency reported that Justice Oka is set to retire on Saturday (May 24). Ahead of this, the Supreme Court judge flew out to Mumbai to attend his mother's last rites.
On Friday, Justice Oka delivered 11 verdicts as part of his usual Bench before proceeding to the ceremonial bench along with Chief Justice BR Gavai.
Earlier this week, the Supreme Court judge received his felicitation by the Supreme Court Advocates on Record Association (SCOARA), where he stated that he does not agree with the tradition of not working on the last day.
“I don’t approve [of] one tradition which is followed in the Supreme Court that [the] retiring judge should not work on the last day. It will take some time for us to get rid of that tradition but at least I have one satisfaction that [on the] last day, I will be sitting in a regular bench and pronouncing some judgments,” he was quoted as saying by the news agency.
He added that he hates the word "retirement" and had decided to hear as many matters as possible since January 2025.
