New Delhi, Jan 23 : Justice N.V. Ramana of the Supreme Court, the judge who is due to become the next Chief Justice of India (CJI), said on Saturday that emergencies have a long-lasting impact on generations. Ramana was speaking at the launch of a book titled "The Law of Emergency Powers: Comparative Common Law Perspectives", authored by senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi and professor Khagesh Gautam. Before beginning his speech as a judge, Ramana said he has to place a caveat that he is required to be a little more circumspect while discussing thoughts on a legal subject where the law is not so well settled, and it is contestable.
