President stresses on timely justice delivery

New Delhi, March 6 : President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday emphasised on implementation of a judicial system in which obstacles behind the delay in delivery of justice could be removed to ensure timely justice.
Supporting his recommendation, Kovind said that the objective of the judicial system is not merely to resolve disputes, but also to uphold justice.
“The objective of the judicial system is not merely to resolve disputes, but also to uphold justice and one way to uphold justice is to remove obstacles like delay in the delivery of justice. Justice is not delayed only by lack of court’s functioning or system,” said the President while speaking at the inauguration of the All-India State Judicial Academies Directors’ Retreat at Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh.
Noting rapid increase of technology in the judicial system, the President stressed on the need to introduce the use of technology in all judicial processes for “speedy delivery of justice”.
“To provide speedy delivery of justice, it is essential that besides extensive judicial training, there is need to introduce the use of technology in our judicial processes.
“Due to the increasing number of cases, it becomes necessary to understand the issues in correct perspectives and take accurate decisions in a short time. The introduction of new laws, extensive changes in the nature of litigation and the need to settle cases in a time-bound manner have also made it imperative for judges to have up-to-date knowledge of the law and procedures,” said the President.
