Moved by Army’s Bravery, High Court Judge Asks to Join Border Duty – Know More About Him

Judge Seeks Army Duty Inspired by Indian Army’s Valor | Operation Sindoor
Indian Masterminds Stories

In the wake of the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 26 innocent civilians, the Indian Armed Forces launched a swift and decisive retaliatory mission dubbed Operation Sindoor. The operation targeted terror launchpads located across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

The Indian military’s precision strike has reportedly dismantled key terror infrastructure, leading to rising pressure on Pakistan to de-escalate tensions. In a significant diplomatic breakthrough, India and Pakistan have officially agreed to a ceasefire, marking a rare moment of de-escalation in an otherwise volatile bilateral relationship.

Nation Gripped by Wave of Patriotism

Following the success of Operation Sindoor, a surge of nationalism and admiration for the armed forces has swept across India. Citizens have taken to social media, streets, and community events to express their support and gratitude to the Indian Army.

Amid this wave of national pride, one unexpected figure has caught the nation’s attention – Justice Anil Verma, a sitting judge of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, who has expressed his intent to join the armed forces and serve on the frontlines.

Justice Anil Verma Requests Deployment at Border

Justice Verma, currently posted at the Gwalior Bench, has sent a formal letter to Chief Justice Suresh Kumar Kait, requesting to be relieved of his judicial duties so he can be deployed to the border in either a military or administrative capacity.

“I am physically and mentally fit, and I am ready to serve the country directly. Kindly remove me from the court and allow me to join the Army,” Justice Verma wrote in the letter.

This isn’t the first time he has demonstrated such patriotic intent. During the Kargil War in 1998, he had similarly submitted a request to join the military effort.

Military Training and Judicial Excellence

Justice Verma’s aspiration is deeply rooted in personal history and professional discipline. He underwent three years of NCC military training and, in 1986, successfully cleared the Group Testing Officer examination and interview at the Army Barracks in Allahabad.

At the remarkably young age of 23, he was appointed as a civil judge, and in 2021, he ascended to the High Court bench. In parallel with his judicial service, he has authored dozens of books chronicling India’s independence movement and historical legacy.

Legacy of Patriotism: A Family of Freedom Fighters

Justice Verma’s patriotic fervor is also inherited. His grandfather, Late Motilal Verma, was an active freedom fighter. He participated in the Jungle Satyagraha of 1931 and the Quit India Movement of 1942, serving a six-month jail sentence during the British Raj. Motilal Verma also had close ties with revolutionary leader Chandrashekhar Azad.

An Unprecedented Gesture in Indian Judiciary

Justice Verma’s decision has sparked a nationwide conversation about public service and patriotism. Legal experts and military veterans alike are praising his spirit, calling it an “unprecedented gesture of solidarity” from a high-ranking judicial officer.
