It is with pleasure that we present our eighth episode of Judicata: The NLIU Law Podcast, where we sit down with Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, Judge of the Supreme Court of India and former Chief Justice of the Telangana High Court. Over a career spanning more than three decades, from the bar in Guwahati to the highest court in the country, he has shaped Indian jurisprudence on arrest, detention, constitutional morality, and judicial independence, and it shows through his dialogue with us about the convictions, doubts, and quiet responsibilities that go into the work of judging.
Meet Judicata, NLIU's student-led platform dedicated to making law relatable, accessible, and real. We bridge the gap between theory and practice through candid interviews with professors, advocates, and the alumni of our university.
