The Chief Justice of India (CJI) J. S Khehar, who will demit his office on 27th August, Sunday, today in his farewell speech, remembered his parents, teachers and seniors in judiciary.
"When I drew my first salary as a high court judge, my father's pension was higher," Khehar recalled nostalgically. Khehar credited his late father for his success as he taught him "perseverance and resolve."
He also praised his mother for being an "embodiment of sacrifice", and praised his wife and children.
Khehar completed his education in Kenya, where he was born and thanked his motherland for the education he received there.
He concluded his speech by thanking the judges, both senior and junior to him, for guiding him.
Having taken the office on 4th January this year, Khehar had a short but eventful term as Supreme Court's Chief Justice.
