Dimapur, November 13 : The chief minister of Nagaland mourns the demise of Justice Nishitendu Chaudhury who reportedly passed away on Saturday, November 12.
Chief Minister TR Zeliang issued a condolence message on Sunday.
“Thoroughly well-versed with the legal system, he was dedicated to the profession, having practiced under the tutelage of renowned legal personality in the person of Mr. N.M Lahiri at the Gauhati High Court way back in the late 1980s,” Zeliang stated. “A soft-spoken gentleman, he had a pleasant and jovial personality which endeared him to all those who met and spent time with him. His colleagues spoke of him as a very good and intelligent judge.”
Before joining the legal profession, Zeliang stated, Chaudhury was a science teacher at a government high school in Nagaland’s Phek district. “His attachment with the Naga people continued even after he left the teaching profession and took up law,” the message read.
“I, on behalf of the government and people of Nagaland, convey my deepest condolences to the bereaved family members and pray that the Almighty grant them solace and comfort at this hour of grief. May his departed soul rest in eternal peace.”
