Impartial judicial system essential for free and fair democracy: Nitin Gadkari

Nagpur: Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Sunday said an impartial and fair judicial system is necessary for a free and fair democracy.
“During cabinet meetings, when discussions on tribunals and other things are held, I often tell the law minister and the prime minister that whatever the decision may be, it is the right of the judiciary to give the decision and it should not be influenced by anybody,” Gadkari said at the inauguration of an amenities block of the Maharashtra National Law University in Nagpur.
Gadkari further called for time-bound court rulings to save the nation from financial loss.
“An independent, impartial and fair judicial system is essential for a free and fair democracy. If the court gives its decision within the time limit, then the country can be saved from the loss of lakhs of crores of rupees. I have seen big companies getting ruined due to delays in justice. And by the time they get justice from the government or the court, they become dead.” “Time is the biggest capital. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi many administrative reforms have taken place,” he added.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Supreme Court judges Justice Bhushan Gavai, Justice PS Narasimha and senior judges of the Mumbai High Court were present at the event.
