Justice GS Patel bids tearful, poetic adieu to Bombay High Court

In his farewell address, Justice Patel, in his unique way, equated the Bar and Bench with the two trees he would see from his chambers on the third floor of the court building. Where leaves and branches are intertwined. One tree loses all its leaves several times a year. Their roots are so jumbled up that one does not where one is and where the other is. Every year a pair of kites builds a nest for its hatcheries there."

In his farewell address, Justice Patel, in his unique way, equated the Bar and Bench with the two trees he would see from his chambers on the third floor of the court building.

Stating that he had fallen in love with his chambers on the first day itself even though it was in shambles and had to be worked on, Justice Patel said,

"I loved it most of all because of the two trees that are outside it. Where leaves and branches are intertwined. One tree loses all its leaves several times a year. The other is as perennial as the grass. Their roots are so jumbled up that one does not where one is and where the other is. The branches are full of magic you see squirrels. Every year a pair of kites builds a nest for its hatcheries there."
