Tributes to a justice
Dhiraj Kumar Nath Retired Secretary Rural Development and Cooperatives Division
The pious soul of Justice Bimalendu Bikash Roy Choudhury returned to the Almighty on 10th April 2005. The news of his expiry was a great shock to me like his other admirers since I came to know him as a man with great honesty, integrity, wisdom and patriotism. A man with so many virtues is rare nowadays. He was an outstanding advocate , a Justice with wide knowledge of legal issues, a humanitarian, a patriot and a devoted religious leader. He was an Adviser to the caretaker government before the 2001 elections and was in charge of the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives and the Ministry of Disaster Management, Relief and Rehabilitation for 87 days. . He was fortunately a choice of all parties due to his widely acclaimed neutrality and honest way of discharging his responsibilities. During his tenure, I was very close to him as Secretary of the RD and Cooperatives Division. He was very much careful to ensure that justice was done on every issue and to everybody. He was very eager to see that cooperative initiatives were encouraged and all steps were taken so that rural people were benefited. The late Justice was a life long bachelor having no urge for wealth, name or fame. He was a real saint, a solitary religious ascetic all along his life. We pray to God for the salvation of his soul.
