When a bench of male and female judges of the High Court received the prayer 'May the couple be always safe'

The appeal was against the trial court's sentence of life imprisonment to a youth for murder. The judges, who heard the appeal and examined the records, did not find sufficient grounds to convict the youth. The bench dismissed the charges and ordered the youth's release.

He started participating in quizzes and other competitions with him, and there was only one problem. Colleagues thought that the retired chief justice knew everything, but the truth was that the number of mistakes made by other students in the answers was similar to that of Leela Seth.
