Edit ProfileCareer
He was sworn in at a 2 May 2008 ceremony at the State House in Entebbe before President Yoweri Museveni and Chief Justice Benjamin Odoki. On 5 March 2008, Choudry was approved to become a justice. His service on the Court was surrounded in controversy before he retired in 2014.
After being schooled in Uganda he travelled to England to study at the University of London and the University of Cambridge.
Having qualified as a solicitor, he practised law in England for 20 years until 2000 after which he practised as an auditor in quality control. Return to Uganda
Anup Singh Choudry has come full circle now by returning to Uganda and its civil service.
In 2004 he was nominated for appointment as a Judge of the Uganda High Court by Uganda’s Judicial Service Commission, being approved by the Ugandan parliament. On respect
Anup Singh Choudry said the following in a British Broadcasting Corporation interview:
"In any decent society or civilised society we all have the same values as human beings and our values have a base in our spiritual values.
At the moment society is looking to its social fabric to give it values and forgetting the spiritual base.
And that is where we are losing respect as we would define it in the previous generations."
"In my generation I was taught to respect elders, neighbours, the authorities and teachers. The new Justice was one of the delegates at the meeting in Lahore last year in connection with the setting up of Baba Nanak University at Nanakana Sahib in Pakistan where he eloquently put forward his case for allocation of 2500 acres of land for the university campus in a proposal that was successfully approved by the Pakistani authorities.
