Chandigarh; Senior Supreme Court lawyer and Member Rajya Sabha, K.T.S. Tulsi has said that men are too unstable to be just and since the judges are also human, they are liable to err. Reading out his presidential address at the 5th. Annual convocation of Army Institute of Law, Tulsi added that the institution of law is dominated by the judges who are diffident enough to analyze their judgement. Therefore, the eminent legal luminary stressed upon the need for a mechanism to discipline the judges also. Describing the sanctity of legal profession he said that its history dates back to remote past when it was managed by the clergy the robes of which are still being donned in the courts. A small pocket at the back of the robe was symbolic of the wisdom that this is no profession to mint money only.
