Supreme Court judge Justice B.V. Nagarathna on Saturday (September 6, 2025) said that the responsibility to work the Constitution did not lie with the people who occupied the corridors of power alone, but extended to every advocate of law.
“The responsibility to work the Constitution, in all its magnanimity and good intentions, does not lie only with the people in the power corridors but extends to every lawyer who should be an advocate of the Constitution. You, as a lawyer, are a steward of the Constitution for life. Soon, you will take the oath to uphold the Constitution and that will necessarily mean that you are now responsible for upholding its letter and spirit,” Justice Nagarathna said in her address to new law graduates at the 12th convocation of the National Law University Delhi.
