Chief Justice Ramana slams deliberate inaction by govt. on judgments
‘20 Judges per 10 Lakh Population Is Alarmingly Low’: CJI Ramana
In his stinging address, the CJI pointed to how courts, already over-burdened, had to deal with the “new problem” of “contempt petitions” triggered by the “deliberate inaction” on the part of governments that chose to ignore judgments and orders.
Chief Justice of India (CJI) NV Ramana, while speaking at the 11th Joint Conference of Chief Ministers and Chief Justices of High Courts with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday, 30 April, said that “we must be mindful of Laxman Rekha“.He added that the “judiciary will never come in way of governance if it’s as per law. If municipalities, gram panchayats perform duties, if police investigate properly and illegal custodial torture comes to end, people need not have to look to courts”.
“Ambiguities in legislation add to existing legal issues. If the legislature passes a law, with clarity of thought, foresight and with people’s welfare in mind, the scope for litigation gets minimised. The legislature is expected to solicit the views of the public and debate the Bills, clause by clause, threadbare, before enacting a law,” Chief Justice Ramana said.
Meanwhile, stating that the government is trying to do their best to improve the judicial system, PM Modi pushed for local languages in courts and said that it will “increase the confidence of the common citizens of the country in the justice system”.
