The legal fraternity needs to stand up for those in need and not keep silent when an evil is seen, Supreme Court Chief Justice H.L. Dattu said here on Saturday.
“In today’s world, a lawyer is not merely confined to wearing black robes of an advocate in the court. You wear an additional robe — that of a social reformer. The challenges in society are multidimensional and one must strive to overcome them in a timely and suitable manner,” said Justice Dattu.
“In keeping silent about evil, we bury it deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface. When we neither punish nor reproach evil-doers, we are not simply protecting them, we are ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations,” he said.
