![[2/20, 07:08] Sekarreporter: [2/20, 07:07] Srimathi Advt Mhc: #justicemuralidhar A simple person and a great intellectual. has done pro bono for the victims of the Bhopal Gas Disaster and Narmada Bachao Andolan. Justice Muralidhar’s court of Delhi High Court has specific directions in the causelist not to address him as “My Lord” and “Your Lordship”. I love reading his Judgements Justice Muralidhar is a gentleman and has been upright throughout. I was quite upset with Gurumurthy when he spoke I’ll about the Judge. He did not even get his facts and called him PC jr. when Jus.M is actually he is Jr of GRs Sr Delhi high court should have closed the contempt holding Gurumurthy as an errant journalist and reckless character .. this would have served the purpose. Dr Muralidhar is a fine person . Delhi’s loss will be P&H gain.
