From the news - 1- Former office boy becomes Chief Justice of India

India's 38th chief justice Sarosh Homi Kapadia began his life as an office assistant who ran errands at a law firm. His vision though was to study law and be a judge. Homi was from a lower middle class Parsi family: his father was a clerk and his mother, a housewife. He could not afford costly education. In 1960, he took up a small job at a law office. He became a lawyer later on and he became counsel for the income tax department at age 27. He was appointed judge of the Bombay High Court in 1993. In December 2003 was appointed a judge of the Supreme Court. On 12 May 2010, Kapadia was sworn in as the Chief Justice of India by the President. A few words of his shows what kind of a man he is......"I come from a poor family. I started my career as a class IV employee and the only asset I possess is integrity."

The integrity of the upright guides them.......... (Proverbs 11:3)
Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings......(Proverbs 22:29)
