Chandigarh, August 10 (ANI): Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on August 10, while addressing at National Conference of ‘The Leadership of Technology in India's Court’, revealed how Justice AP Sen inspired him in 1998. He said, “In 1998 when I was invited to become a judge in Bombay HC I consulted a lot of learned people whether I should take it up as I was not sure of it. One of the learned persons I contacted was Justice AP Sen who authored the ADM Jabalpur judgment. He invited me to his Nagpur residence. He told me there is a difference between a judge and a lawyer. A judge always leaves his footprint on the sand and those footprints are the written word which you have crafted. Lawyers however much brilliant in their arguments are lost to future generations.”
