HIGH TIME WE FIND WAY TO REDUCE PENDENCY: PRESIDENT TO JUDGES

Honourable President of India while speaking on the occasion of Constitution day celebrations , Vigyan Bhawan New Delhi, listening to him were the Honourable CJI ,SC judges and the CJ High courts, hailing the Judiciary for maintaining the highest standards of conduct, further.stated that judges should exercise utmost discretion while passing observations in the courts proceedings as it could lead to dubious interpretation and stressed the need to bring reforms in the Judiciary to make justice more speedy and accessible and also to improve gender balance in the institution and also expressed concern over the Judiciary being targeted on the social media by some miscreants and hoped it remained an aberration. The CJI NV Ramana said that the Judiciary should not be solely blamed for delay in decision and acquittal in criminal cases . Another set of misunderstanding related to the belief that the courts are responsible for liberal acquittals and adjournments however the truth is that the public prosecutors,advocates and parties all have to co-operate with the judicial process. Non cooperation, procedural lapses and the faulty probe can not be blamed on the courts .
