    "content": "Those of us who have had a longer stay in Parliament know that this House has demonstrated the robust debates we see in the House of Commons and the Indian Parliament, whose proceedings we get online. Members debate maturely and sensibly. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have been on the frontline as the first and last line of defence of the right of every Member to debate in this House. I feel very proud because I have a contribution in your formative years in making you who you are in the legal fraternity. I stand very proud that part of my product can be a star in his own way. What you have shown reminds me of the words of the Russian Republic founder, V.I. Lenin, when he talked of left wing communism as infantile disorder. He said that some minds are concrete; all mixed up, but permanently set, they never change. You have shown that a wise man has always room for change. You can make a ruling with hindsight and behave like the great Lord Denning, if you read a book called ‘What next in law.’ When Lord Denning wrote a judgment, he concluded and waited for a signature to go and deliver. He went home for lunch, and in a discussion on the lunch table with his wife, he mentioned the challenge of the case that he was dealing with. The wife told him something, and he stopped the lunch, went back to his Chamber and altered the last paragraph of the judgment. That is what wise men do."
