This is the text of the farewell speech delivered by Justice S. Muralidhar in the atrium of the Delhi high court building on March 5. In the speech, the judge, who has been transferred to the Punjab and Haryana high court, speaks about his family (including his pet dog), experiences during his 14-year tenure as a member of the Delhi high court Bench and important verdicts he delivered, such as the judgment decriminalising homosexuality. Justice Muralidhar also touches upon the events that transpired on February 26, when he passed two crucial orders related to the Delhi riots, and the order to transfer him was issued at around midnight.
