The college said Justice Oka's engagement would help bridge the gap between legal theory and practice, offering students experiential academic leadership and a deeper understanding of the law's real-world applications.

"Justice Oka's extensive judicial experience, his deep understanding of constitutional and procedural law, and his contributions to Indian jurisprudence will provide valuable inputs to curriculum design and teaching," the statement added.

Justice Oka served as a judge of the Supreme Court of India, and earlier as Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court, before retiring in May 2024.
