Justice Kapadia wrote in a letter to V R Krishna Iyer, former Supreme Court Judge as a reply to his congratulatory letter saying, "I come from a poor family. I started my career as a class IV employee and the only asset I possess is integrity. Even as a judge of the Supreme Court, I have used my knowledge of accounts and economics for the welfare of the downtrodden including tribals and workmen. I hope to fulfill my obligation to the Constitution in the matter of achieving the goal of inclusive growth."
