On the 13th of March, 2017, NALSAR University of Law hosted Justice K. Kannan - Former Judge of High Court of Punjab & Haryana, Chandigarh and High Court of Madras and the present Chairman of the Railway Claims Tribunal at its Principal Bench at New Delhi. Justice Kannan, at the invitation of Nyaya Forum for Courtroom Lawyering delivered a talk on his career in the judiciary titled ‘Judging: A Spiritual Journey’ to a gathering of students and professors at the MK Nambyar SAARCLaw Centre.
Justice Kannan, shared his experience as a web blogger, where he critiqued various judgements and raised several unpopular questions fearlessly in interest of general public. He was one of the most prominent blogging judges but after a starred question was raised in the parliament on issue of blogging by a judge and criticism from amongst the judging community, he had to withdrew the blog. He said that his pre-occupation as a lawyer was getting at the truth and as a judge to closely inquire about what is the truth there.
