CJI: Rulers should introspect daily about their decisions

TIRUPATI: Rulers should introspect every day whether their decisions were good, Chief Justice of India NV Ramana said on Monday, as he quoted from the Mahabharata and Ramayana to underscore 14 bad qualities that should be avoided.
Participating in the 40th convocation of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning at Puttaparthi town in Andhra Pradesh's Anantapur district, Justice Ramana said rulers should check if they have any bad characteristics and ask every day if he/she was on the righteous path before taking any administrative decision.
People have the supreme power to elect rulers in a democracy, the CJI said. "The present-day rulers should strive to protect the dignity and self-respect of women, children and weaker sections of society at all costs."
The SSSIHL vice chancellor listed out the achievements of the students and the institution in his convocation address. Chancellor K Chakravarthi gave away certificates of merit and gold medals to meritorious students.
