He made a special mention of senior advocate K. Parasaran, saying, “Shri Parasaran once said that he fought this case on behalf of Shriram. Throughout the proceedings, he never displayed hatred toward the opposing side and always treated other lawyers with respect. Maintaining goodwill outside the courtroom is a beautiful tradition of Sanatan Dharma.”

Justice Rao added that both judges and lawyers should avoid speaking publicly about ongoing or decided cases. “Parasaran never gave media interviews. Lawyers should speak only in court, and judges should speak only through their judgments,” he said.
