Bar leaders Thursday bid adieu to retiring Justice Kurian Joseph, terming him as one of the most "popular" judges in recent times with a "pleasant smile" and urged Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi to replace him a judge having a similar smile.

Justice Joseph, the third senior-most judge who was elevated to the Supreme Court on March 8, 2013, was sitting in the crowded courtroom along with the CJI and Justice S K Kaul in the morning.

Lawyers showered praises and wishes when the special bench was about to rise.

At the outset of day's proceedings, CJI Gogoi, while issuing notice on a petition, said, "Today, I will not disagree with with my brother (Justice Joseph)."
He said though a formal farewell function would be held in the evening, "I want to say that Justice Joseph has been one of the most popular judges in recent times."
