Supreme Court judge Justice Surya Kant on Tuesday said that Bar and Bench are two sides of a coin meant for only one goal -- quest for justice.

Speaking at a felicitation event for four apex court judges Justice N. Kotiswar Singh, Justice R. Mahadevan, Justice Manmohan and Justice K. Vinod Chandran, organised by the All India Senior Advocates Association, Justice Kant said while judges do their best to ensure that no injustice is done to the litigants, equal responsibility also lies on the Bar to provide quality assistance.

"Bar and Bench are two sides of a coin meant for only one goal, i.e., the quest for justice. Our endeavour is to find the truth in every matter. As judges, we do our best to ensure that no injustice is done. But equal responsibility also lies on the Bar, which assists us to provide quality assistance.

"I am sure the enlightened Bar which India has is a huge wealth as far as judiciary is concerned. The Bar will continue to contribute and assist us and will be part of the mission and vision to provide affordable justice to the last man standing," Justice Kant said Union Minister of Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal while congratulating the newly appointed Supreme Court Judges said that the judges have achieved this position as they led very pious and clean life.

International Council of Jurists President Dr. Adish C Aggarwala vouched that judges of Indian Supreme Court are the most hardworking judges in the world and that is the reason that the disposal rate in the Indian Supreme Court is the highest in the world.

Attorney General and AISAA Chairman R Venkataramani, former Law Commission Chairman and Supreme Court Judge Dr. B.S. Chauhan, AISAA President and Member of Parliament P. Wilson, and its Vice President and Member of Parliament Vivek Tankha also spoke at the event.
