Justice Vivian Bose (also rendered V. V. N. Bose) (9 June 1891 – 29 November 1983), Judge of the Supreme Court of India, served as the National Commissioner of the Bharat Scouts and Guides from November 1957 to November 1959.
Scouting for native Indians was started by Justice Bose, Madan Mohan Malaviya, Hridayanath Kunzru, Annie Besant and George Arundale, in 1913.
Justice Bose was a member of the World Scout Committee of the World Organization of the Scout Movement from 1947 until 1949.
He was also the President of the International Commission of Jurists. Justice Bose is known for breaking new ground in law, the significance of which came to be realized in later years.[1]
Lawyers occupy a specially privileged position in society and that thrusts great responsibilities on us (lawyers); at the same time it gives us immense opportunities to mold the life and thought of the Nation, not so much by talk though we can also be great talkers, beaten only by another class politicians and ministers, but by our life and example, by what we do in the courts of course, but also in spheres outside the range of bread and butter life.
The landmark judgement by Vivian Bose J in Virsa Singh v State of Punjab [1958 AIR 465] has set an important judicial precedent regarding the applicability of section 300 Thirdly of The Indian Penal Code of 1860.
He was married to Canadian Irene Mott, the author of The Monkey Tree on 18 December 1930.[3][4]
