New Delhi: Justice G S Singhvi, known as a bold and pro-active Supreme Court judge who kept government on tenterhooks on public issues including 2G spectrum scam, retired today after delivering his last judgement upholding gay sex as a criminal offence.
Singhvi, the senior most Supreme Court judge, who heard a number of sensitive cases and pronounced landmark verdicts including scrapping of 2G spectrum licences during his a little over six-year tenure, had yesterday given a body blow to politicians and bureaucrats with a path-breaking judgement against misuse of red beacon lights on vehicles used by them, saying it was reflective of the “Raj mentality”.
