Jagdish Khehar - A Lifestory

Someone is known for being a strong judge and always following the Indian rules. People remember this person as the 44th top judge in India, a job done very well. This person's life, like a good law movie, has important decisions and big moments. This person started the job on 04 January 2017, taking over from another judge, and stayed until 27 August 2017. Even though it was not a long time, important choices were made and the law was always followed. Before being the top judge, this person worked as a judge in different high courts, like the Punjab and Haryana High Court, and was also the acting top judge there. Known for being smart and making quick decisions, this person led many important cases. One big one was the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) case in 2015, where the highest court stopped a change to how judges are picked. This showed how much this person cared about keeping the courts free. People who worked with this person often said they could understand hard law arguments and make fair decisions. This person thought it was important for judges to be responsible and act right. What this person did still makes young law people in India want to do well, reminding them how important the courts are in a fair country.
