They do speak, but only out of functional necessity, and no more. Bitter truth must remain in memory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The CJI lauded the role of media for its reportage during the &#8220;trying times&#8221; of the apex judicial institution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Good press is also a parameter amongst others that is known to be indicative of our institutional health. In such view, I do wish to put on record that by and large, the press corps has been kind to my office as well as to our institution during my tenure at the helm of the institution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even during trying times. When our institution was keeping an ambush or two at bay, most members of the press displayed maturity and character ad exercised exceptional discretion to prevent canards and falsehood from clogging the news space,&#8221; the letter said.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Gogoi said that as a public functionary, who was entrusted with onerous Constitutional duties to perform, the idea of &#8220;courting the press&#8221; never came as a choice for him in the interest of the institution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I chose to belong to an institution whose strength lay in public confidence and trust earned not through good press, but through our work as Judges on the bench.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In fact, our work-places are, by our functional necessity, required to be public places as justice is ordained to be delivered in presence of ordinary citizens to ensure that it is never far removed from them. In that view, our institutional connect and interface with the citizenry is proximate,&#8221; the letter said.<\/p>\n<p>Though the CJI is officially retiring on November 17, a Sunday, Friday was his last working day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outgoing Chief Justice India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi on Friday expressed his inability to have one-to-one interview with scribes and lauded the press for its &#8220;maturity&#8221; and &#8220;character&#8221; in preventing &#8220;canards and falsehood&#8221; in &#8220;trying times&#8221; of the judiciary.
