Lawyers should exhibit sportsman spirit in profession:SC Judge

Supreme Court Judge A K Sikri today appealed the lawyers to exhibit sportsman spirit in their profession as it would keep them bonded.
"When Indian cricket team is playing at International level like in World Cup entire nation is bonded in the euphoria. I think that lawyers should also exhibit similar kind of bondage in their profession," Justice Sikri said while inaugurating the K K Luthra memorial inter-bar cricket tournament of 2014.
Justice Sikri declared the tournament open at a function which was graced by former Indian cricket team opener Gautam Gambhir and two Delhi High Court judges Rajiv Shakdher and S Muralidhar.

"I hope that this cricket tournament will be able to bring bondage among the lawyers," Justice Sikri said.
Justices Rajiv Shakdher and S Muralidhar both shared their interest in cricket saying that the sportsman spirit always keep people refreshing.
Gambhir striking a lighter note said that it is difficult to talk in front of high profile dignitaries and it was better if he would have been listening among the audience.

K K Luthra was an eminent senior and the tournament was started in 2011 in his memory.
The first two tournament were won by the Supreme Court lawyers team while the 2013 tournament was won by Delhi High Court team.
