On October 14, the Central government announced that Justice Ganju would be moving to the Karnataka High Court.
During her parting speech at the Delhi High Court, Justice Tara Vitasta Ganju told her daughter, "If you cry, I will cry."
On Monday, the Delhi High Court witnessed heartbreaking scenes as Justice Tara Vitasta Ganju broke down in tears while witnessing her daughter's tears during her goodbye statement.
Justice Ganju noticed her daughter crying as she thanked her mother and daughter for their support during her career. She reassured her daughter halfway through her speech with a grin and remarked,
"I'll cry if you do."
In August of this year, the Supreme Court Collegium recommended that Justices Ganju and Arun Monga of the Delhi High Court be transferred. On October 14, the Central government announced that the judges would be moving to the Karnataka and Rajasthan High Courts, respectively.
Several members of the Bar had strongly opposed Justice Ganju's transfer. In a letter to Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai, the DHCBA, DHCBA women attorneys, and a number of other Bar members expressed their disapproval of Justice Ganju's removal.
According to Justice Ganju's address, her entire family was unable to attend the farewell because of the unexpected turn of circumstances.
Working late into the night had frequently drawn criticism, she said.
"I am aware that working on the weekends or late into the night has occasionally led to criticism or misunderstanding, but I have never thought of diligence as a weakness. Our top priority must always be the country and the litigants who come to us for redress since the demands of justice don't always follow the clock. The duty we have to the cause of justice must be subordinated to our own comfort or even the possibility of criticism," she said.
Justice Ganju claimed that she was motivated "to fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you" by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a justice on the US Supreme Court.
She continued by saying that her conception of justice and the law was influenced by the Delhi High Court.
"I can honestly say that this Court has taught me everything I know about the law, justice, and great responsibility. My best instructor has been it. I aspire to continue serving the cause of justice with the same zeal and dedication that this Court exemplifies, since my years here have been among the most rewarding of my judicial career. I appreciate your love and kindness, everyone.
As she said goodbye, she thanked the stenographers, law researchers, registrars, register officers, and court employees.
