Embodying unwavering commitment to justice

The Statesman Delhi

|

November 25, 2025

Justice is often portrayed as rigid and detached, but Justice Surya Kant has consistently proved that fairness and compassion can coexist. As a distinguished judge of the Supreme Court of India, he is admired not only for his knowledge of the law but also for his deep understanding of the people it serves. His humane approach and accessible nature have made him a respected figure across the legal fraternity.

- PROF. (DR.) SHASHI KANT SHARMA

Coming from a modest background, Justice Surya Kant's rise to the top of the judiciary is a story of perseverance and determination. Despite facing numerous hardships, he remained steadfast in his ambition to serve society through law. He completed his LL.B. from Maharishi Dayanand University, Rohtak, where he stood out for his academic excellence and his strong concern for social issues.

Over the last three decades, his judicial career has taken him through several important positions, including serving in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and eventually the Supreme Court of India. Throughout his journey, he has worked with a commitment to ensuring that justice is not merely delivered but is visibly fair and transparent. His time at the Punjab and Haryana High Court is particularly noteworthy: he dealt with more than a thousand cases, many of them high-profile ones, with remarkable integrity and efficiency.
