Outgoing Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, delivering his farewell address on Monday, said Indian judiciary is the “most robust institution” in the world and young lawyers were assets having potential to develop the jurisprudence. Misra was speaking at an event organised by the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA).
