The strength of the judiciary lies in public confidence, Himachal Pradesh high court chief justice Mansoor Ahmad Mir has said here on Thursday.
He said he expected honest, sincere, and diligent discharge of duties by each of the judges. “Any wrong conduct or act on part of any of them would affect the public confidence adversely, which will be detrimental to our justice delivery system,” Mir added while addressing the high court lawyers and judges in full court reference.

Justices Sanjay Karol, Rajiv Sharma, VK Sharma, Dharam Chand Chaudhary, Tarlok Chauhan, PS Rana and Sureshwar Thakur of the high court were present.
