False narratives and misconceptions about judges need to be refuted: CJI Ramana

Chief Justice NV Ramana on Thursday said that false narratives and misconceptions -- that judges supposedly lead an easy life -- need to be refuted by educating the public about the work put by them with limited resources.

The CJI said the most obvious sacrifice to become a judge is monetary but one must be moved by the spirit of public duty to take such a decision.

He said he would like to flag the amount of work judges put in day in and day out.

The CJI said there exists a misconception in the minds of the people that Judges stay in big bungalows, work only 10 am to 4 pm and enjoy their holidays and such a narrative is untrue.
