According to M. Jagannadha Rao as stated in his speech,[2] "Justice Obul Reddy was thus intelligent, sharp and quick, was orthodox and not an activist judge, was self disciplined and was a strict disciplinarian whether it was within the judiciary or where the bar involved. It is obvious that he was not bothered much about what the subordinate judiciary or the bar felt about his principles. He treated seniors and juniors alike. His judgments were never delayed. He had no backlog of judgements. He was God-fearing and believed in destiny."
