Addressing the first convention of the Kodagu District Judicial Employees’ Association on Sunday at Kala Kshethra, he said that the judicial employees must abstain selfishness and help the complainants, advocates and public. It is only with such a selfless service that they can attain satisfaction.

“Employees must first stop distinguishing people. Nature has left two things for human beings to control, that is, thoughts and heart. Hence, judicial employees must not indulge into classification of humn beings as poor and the rich while serving them. They must serve everyone equally,” he said.
