Justice Nazeer said the profession of law should never be commercialised. He also expressed his resentment against the practice of many to opt for legal profession as a part time profession while engaging in other  businesses.

Former advocate general B V Acharya, who presided over the function, said the legal profession is a very respectable profession which aims at ensuring justice to the clients. It should be considered as a service activity, he added
