Mumbai: Judicial infrastructure is important to increase access to justice, but it is confusing to note that its improvement and maintenance is carried out with ad-hoc and unplanned ways in the country, the Chairman of India Judge N V Ramana said on Saturday.
Noting that effective justice can help in economic growth, CJI said the court is very important for any community regulated by the law supremacy.
Cji Ramana spoke at the inauguration of the two wings of the Annexe building on the Aurangabad bench from the Bombay High Court.
CJI said today’s success should not blind us on existing problems.
“We are faced with certain hard facts such as some courts do not have the right facilities.
Some courts function from a dilapidated building.
Important justice infrastructure to increase access to justice,” he said.
“It’s confusing to note that the increase and maintenance of judicial infrastructure is still carried out in the ad-hoc and an unplanned way,” added Cji Ramana.
He further said that the building inaugurated in Aurangabad on Saturday was imagined in 2011.
“That it has taken 10 years for this vision to be implemented very worrying.
This is a deeper problem that has linked our judicial infrastructure planning in our country.
Since independence, “Cji said.
“Effective Justice can help in effective economic growth,” he said.
Cji said he had sent a proposal to establish the National Judicial Infrastructure Authority to the Minister of Law and Justice Union, and added that he hoped for a positive response and this problem was taken during the upcoming Parliamentary winter session.
CJI Ramana said many ideas of social revolution that have caused freedom and freedom that we all received was born from fertile and progressive land.
“Whether it’s an extraordinary Phake Savitri or feminist pioneering Jyotirao Phule or legendary Dr.
Bhimrao Babasaheb Ambedkar.
They always aspire to the egalitarian society where every individual right for dignity is respected.
Together they have driven irreversible social change in ultimately evolving In our constitution, “said Cji Ramana.
He added that it was a general idea that only criminals and victims approached the court and people who were proud to state that they never visited or saw a court building for their lifetime.
“But it’s time we try to delete this taboo for the affirmation of citizens’ rights.
Ordinary people handle many legal problems during their lives.
Someone should not hesitate to approach the court.
However, the faith of the people in justice is one of the greatest power of democracy, “Cji said.
He added that the court is very important for any community regulated by the law supremacy because they actively ensure constitutional rights for the court.
The court in India always stands every time someone or the community is at the executive end, he said.
“This is a guarantee that an individual, however weak, does not need to worry about the strength of a country,” said Cji Ramana.
Also speaking in his functions, the Judiciary of the Supreme Court D Y Chandrachud said the flipside of their work was that they were faced with the level of justice and injustice faced by citizens.
Justice Chandrachud added that while justice celebrates the inauguration of the building but at the same time there must be introspection of justice on how to overcome the problem of delayed cases in the state and country.
“Like dates, there are more than 48 lash cases that are delayed in Maharashtra with around 21,000 cases to more than three decades.
These are some of the problems we have to face.
It requires some introspection,” said Justice Chandrachud.
Judge Chandrachud said the building in Aurangabad was a landmark in Maharashtra’s history.
“This building is a symbol of Maharashtra ethos.
This represents the value of diversity, tolerance and cultural plurality in this situation,” said Justice Chandrachud.
He also emphasizes the need to have a virtual court so that every citizen in all countries can have access to the court process.
“Our citizens are entitled to know how the court process is held, how long does the judges sit down, and why some cases are postponed.
This is their right to know,” said Justice Chandrachud.
