New Delhi, Nov 29 (PTI) — Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Saturday said judges must engage in recreational activities to recharge themselves, given their long working hours and the highly stressful nature of their duties.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the All India Judges Badminton Championship, the CJI said recreational activity should become a regular habit for judges.
“The working hours of judges are long and the nature of their work is very stressful. Sitting hours are long. All judges should participate in a recreational activity and make it a habit. Recreation is needed to recharge them,” he said.
He added that the strong participation of High Court judges reflects their consciousness about health and well-being.
Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, Union minister Kiren Rijiju, and several Supreme Court judges attended the inaugural event. The two-day championship is being held at the Thyagraj Sports Complex in Delhi.
The closing ceremony and prize distribution on Sunday will be presided over by former CJI B R Gavai along with Justice Vikram Nath. The event is being organised by former international badminton player Abantika Deka.
