Outgoing Supreme Court judge Sanjay Karol says judges are not “gods” and will not get every judgment right. In remarks reflecting on the responsibilities of judicial work, he emphasizes that deciding cases requires humility and an understanding that litigants are real people, not just parties to a dispute.
The Hindu reports Karol’s message focusing on the human side of adjudication—seeing “the real person behind every litigant” and exercising the humility needed to deliver fair outcomes. Times of India similarly highlights the same core statement that judges are fallible and cannot always reach perfect results, presenting it as an acknowledgment of the limits inherent in judging.
Taken together, the outlets present the same central theme: that judicial decisions, while made within legal standards, are ultimately delivered by individuals who must remain grounded, recognizing both the seriousness of their role and the possibility of error in any system of adjudication.
