Chief Justice of India N V Ramana has lauded a 10-year schoolgirl from Kerala on a “beautiful letter” he recei­v­ed, “with a heart-warming illustration of the judge at work”. She wrote to the Chief Justice how “happy and proud” she felt to see the Sup­reme Court make vital interventions to alleviate the sufferings of her fellow citizens in the grip of the pandemic.

“I am happy and feel proud your honourable court has moved orders for supply of oxygen and saved many lives. I understood your honourable court has initiated effective steps in bringing down Covid-19 and death rate in our country, especially in Delhi. I thank Your Honour for this. Now I feel very proud and happy,” Lidwina Joseph, a Standard V student from Thrissur in Kerala, wrote in her letter that the Supreme Court received towards May-end.

She was “much worried” about the deaths caused by the virus, says the hand-written letter, in the form of a scroll, accompanied by a colourful illustration showing a bespectacled judge using his gavel to give the Coronavirus a knock on its head. A portrait of the Mahatma hangs from a wall behind the judge. The Chief Justice replied to her, conveying he was impressed by the way Lidwina kept track of the happenings in the country, particularly her concern for the well-being of her compatriots.

“I am sure you will grow up into an alert, informed and responsible citizen who will contribute immensely towards nation-building,” Chief Justice Ramana wrote in his reply and sent her a signed copy of the Constitution of India.
