Q1. Why do you want to leave your career in law? Won’t the country lose an asset? You could have better served as a lawyer or judge?

Q2. Do you not think a time ceiling should be imposed regarding disposal of cases? (Suggested that an artificial ceiling would not ensure justice and due process takes its own time. Gave suggestions like reducing vacancy, e-courts, ADR)
