kode...the man
by champak on Aug 01, 2007 03:20 PM

%u2022 Judge Pramod Dattaram Kode became one of the longest surviving judges in a single court in perhaps the longest running criminal trial in the country

%u2022 The only judge to have an insurance cover of Rs 25 lakh, plus Z-plus security

%u2022 Sifted through 13,000 pages of oral evidence, 7,000 pages of documentary evidence and 6,700 pages of statements of the accused for his judgment

%u2022 Didn't miss a day of work from March 1996 till the last week of June 2007, when he slipped in his bathroom and fractured an arm

%u2022 When Kode's father died a few years ago, he came straight to the court after performing the last rites. When his mother passed away, he did not take leave

%u2022 Was known to come on holidays to hear appeals of accused to visit an ailing relative or to attend a funeral. Allowed many of the accused to go on Haj and let them keep table fans in jail during summer

%u2022 His long tenure as Special TADA Judge was unmarked by controversy and he rarely lost his cool
