Supreme Court Judge, Justice Abdul S. Nazeer on Wednesday highlighted the low representation of women in the Indian Judiciary, besides increasing the pay scale for junior lawyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attending his farewell function at the Supreme Court Bar Association, Justice Nazeer said the number of female Judicial Officers, lawyers and Judges was very less and that steps should be taken to increase their number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said all three organs of the state should work together to preach and practice equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about the young members of the bar making appearance in his courtroom, he said their energy and competence was unparalleled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The younger generation in Judiciary should pursue their profession with utmost sincerity and take the baton of justice forward. Justice Nazeer further said that the young generation needed mentors to channelise energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told the young lawyers that they should not let their past decide their future. “Take the plunge and accept the opportunity. Even if you fail, you will always learn something new,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Supreme Court Judge further pressed for increasing the pay scale of young lawyers, stating that a decent pay for juniors would bring more talented members to the profession, so that the Judiciary reaches the last cry of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking about his career, Justice Nazeer said, “It feels like a dream come true. I was 24 when my career began. I never played 20-20 in my profession, but a test match like Sunil Gavaskar. I did not aim for sixes, but increased my score with regular practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about the ‘Duck syndrome,’ he said while a duck silently glided over water, it furiously flapped its feet beneath water, to remain afloat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The same happened with me. I practiced harder and harder to glide smoothly and remain afloat in this profession. After great events, which took place in both professional and personal life, which resulted in fond memories, I express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helped me during this journey,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice Nazeer was born on January 5, 1958 and enrolled as an advocate on February 18, 1983. He practiced before the Karnataka High Court and was appointed as an additional Judge of the High Court on May 12, 2003. He became a permanent judge on September 24, 2004. He was elevated to the Supreme Court on February 17, 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCBA Vice-President Pradeep Rai said Justice Nazeer came from a humble village background. He spoke Tulu language proficiently. He has five brothers and one sister. He first worked with his father-in-law and later with other illustrious Advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
