Justice Kannan remembers one exception to this rule: the case of Chandigarh Administration v Nemo. This matter was animatedly discussed for several weeks

[25/11, 08:24] Sekarreporter: [25/11, 08:24] Sekarreporter: Justice K. Kannan, who served as a Judge in the Punjab and Haryana High Court from 2008 to 2016 told the Supreme Court Observer that Justice Surya Kant played an active role in the post-lunch sessions where the judges had decided they could discuss all manner of topics but the law. The punishment for judges who used to ‘break’ the rule in these informal discussions was bringing homemade lunch for all the other judges the next day.

[25/11, 08:25] Sekarreporter: [25/11, 08:25] Sekarreporter: But Justice Kannan remembers one exception to this rule: the case of Chandigarh Administration v Nemo. This matter was animatedly discussed for several weeks at these meetings. He recalled that this was the case of a mentally disabled woman who did not know what sex meant, but became pregnant, and kept referring to the child in her womb as a ‘doll’.   Although Justice Surya Kant’s order in this case (which directed abortion of the pregnancy) was reversed by the Supreme Court, Justice Kannan found Justice Surya Kant’s articulation extremely powerful. “He is someone who is proficient in all subjects,” Justice Kannan said while recalling those days in the High Court.
