Madhya Pradesh HC judge’s farewell speech: Body to science, Rs 1 crore to PM CARES
Madhya Pradesh High Court judge Justice Avanindra Kumar Singh announced his retirement on September 17, marking the end of a 37-year judicial career that began in 1990. In his farewell speech, Singh expressed his commitment to scientific advancement by pledging his body for donation after death through a medical college. He also revealed that he would donate the entirety of his GPF money, amounting to approximately Rs 1 crore, to the PM CARES Fund, a public charitable trust for emergencies.
Singh credited his wife, Indra, for both decisions, stating that she had supported him throughout his career. The judge, who served at multiple district courts and as Deputy Welfare Commissioner of Bhopal Gas Victims, emphasized his dedication to society and urged fellow judges to remain impartial, regardless of personal feelings towards litigants.
Justice Singh was succeeded as Chief Justice by Alpesh Yashwant Kogje, who was sworn in on September 10, 2026.
