Dealt cases with conscience, took decisions with conviction, says Justice Arun Mishra

The CJI, who incidentally shared the bench with Justice Mishra for the first and the last time in the top court, praised the retiring judge by terming him as a "beacon of light", "beacon of courage" and "beacon of fortitude" even in the face of all adversities. "Justice Mishra is leaving behind a legacy of hard work, erudition, great courage and fortitude", the CJI said.
