Thrissur: Lidwina Joseph, a 5th Class student of Kendriya Vidyalaya, Thrissur in Kerala wrote to the Chief Justice N V Ramana for effective intervention and saving lives during the pandemic. It is believed that the Supreme Court’s remarks on the vaccine policy in a way prompted the central government to come out with major steps including taking over the vaccination process.
The girl wrote, “I am happy and feel proud that 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 the death rate in our country especially in Delhi. I thank you, your Honour for this. Now I feel very proud and happy.” In his reply, the Chief Justice N V Ramana said it was a ‘beautiful letter’ and “heart-warming illustration of a judge at work” in her drawing accompanying the letter.
The illustration shows a judge hammering down coronavirus and has the tricolour, lion capital and smiling portrait of father of the nation.
Lidwina wrote; “I was much worried about the deaths in Delhi and other parts of the country due to Corona. From the newspaper I understood that your honourable court has intervened effectively at the sufferings and death of ordinary people in the fight against Covid-19.
“I have received your beautiful letter along with a heart-warming illustration of the Judge at work. I am really impressed with the way you kept track of happenings in the country and the concern that you have displayed for the well-being of people in the wake of the pandemic.”
“I am sure you will grow-up into an alert, informed and responsible citizen who will contribute immensely towards nation building,” the CJI wrote back wishing the best and all round success to the little girl.
