7th July

Could  go for 50 minute brisk walk in the evening. Had to leave for a conference on"Law and Economics", organised by Assocham in Meridian hotel at about 9:00 a.m. The conference continued from 10:00 a.m.- 4:15 p.m. with breaks for Tea and Lunch. Shri Salman Khurshid, Union Law Minister of India was the Chief Guest. The sanctity of the contract was discussed besides other issues connected with administration of Justice, Governance, Taxation Laws etc. It was a very informative conference. I refreshed my knowledge of law as I studied law of Contract in LL.B and LL.M from 1958-62 and as lawyer for the last about 15 years. The law I studied, the law as i enforced as a police officer and the law as i practice now are so different. There are wide gaps between the knowledge, enforcement and practice of law. We can bridge the gap by  ethics in practice of law, a difficult proposition.
In chamber from 5.15 to 6.30 pm.
Retired to sleep at 11 pm
