In his address at the event, CJI Ramana recounted asking Justice Saran about his future plans, in response to which the retiring judge said, ‘No, I don’t want anything, I want to work freely, I want to be a free citizen.’
He remarked that post retirement, Justice Saran will get the freedom to speak without any restrictions.
“Retirement means he will get some freedom which he lost as a judge, which he will get again. After demitting office, he need not bother about the restrictions which the office had. He is a free citizen, he can express his opinions freely and he can enjoy his life,” the CJI said.
