A Lifelong Commitment to the Law

The Delhi Former Judges Association (DFJA) is the representative body of the former judges of the Delhi judiciary — a society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860.

Believing that the tenure of a judge is a chapter in a lifelong commitment to the law, the Association brings together the retired judges of the Delhi Judiciary. It provides a platform to harness their juristic wisdom and rich experience and to channel it into the socio-legal fabric of society — bridging the transition from the Bench to public service.

The Association serves as the collective voice of its members, safeguarding their interests and welfare, and fostering a spirit of fraternity and cordial relations amongst the former judicial officers of the Delhi judiciary.
