He had the “ability to strike” when it was required, the Minister said. Speaking at the inauguration of a moot court hall in Delhi’s National Law University (NLU) — dedicated to the former CJI , Jaitley said Justice Sabharwal was a tough judge but never sat on the bench with fixated views. “He had no likes or dislikes and had no friends in court. But his personality outside was totally different,” Jaitley reminisced, recalling his association with the former CJI who made tremendous contribution to the field of Law through his judgements. Some of the important verdicts delivered by him included declaring President’s Rule in Bihar unconstitutional and opening to judicial review the laws placed in the Ninth Schedule. A Moot Court Hall in his name in a premier law school was a fit dedication to the former CJI, Jaitley said. The Minister added : “A specialised Moot Court hall is a rare speciality and for a law school to have one is commendable.” Justice Dalveer Bhandari, Judge of International Court of Justice, spoke of how moot courts had become an integral part of legal education.
