    A stickler for discipline; a judge who applies his mind
  • Justice Gogoi is a stickler for discipline and has a reputation of being a judge who applies his mind, is proper and holds all nature of relationships in high regard.

    His colleagues term him as "a man of few words, strong and deep convictions and also a man of action. He speaks little but acts."

    He was among the 4 judges who called press conference

    He was among the 4 judges who called press conference
  • Notably, on January 12 this year, SC's four topmost judges, in an unparalleled move, had called on a press conference to address issues relating to the allocation of cases in the top court.

    Justice Gogoi was one of them, along with Justices J Chelameswar (since retired), Madan B Lokur and Kurian Joseph.

    This was why there was an air of speculation on his appointment.

  • Justice Gogoi had said that noisy judges and independent journalists are democracy's first line of defense and a revolution is needed to keep the institution of the judiciary responsive to the changes in society at the Ramnath Goenka Memorial Lecture.

    He also said justice is not something that is a standalone precept but an amalgam of other ideals like socialism, democracy, liberty etc.
