Giving his piece of advise to his junior colleagues, Desmond said “as judges, we have to search for the truth, when we decide cases or administrative matters. You have to work according to your conscience.”
Saying that Judiciary has been a part of his life for the last 25 years, judge Desmond said he would cherish the good times he spent in the court, even even as he thanked the staff for their dedication and commitment.
