Krishna Iyer stayed in his chambers until mid-night, dictated the judgment and went home to sleep in peace. His last order for the day was to ask the court staff to stay in the court until 5000 copies of the judgment were ready. Why 5000 copies ? He said that getting a copy of the judgment from the Supreme court is cumbersome and anyone who was present in court and wanted a copy should get it free. Iyer wanted the judiciary to be proactive, humane and impartial.
