In a first, Supreme Court begins live-streaming court proceedings

<p>Chief Justice of India (CJI) NC Ramana has created ripples once again with his statements on myriad issues. Speaking at an event titled 'Seventy-five years of parliamentary democracy' organised by the Rajasthan Assembly, the CJI touched upon various issues ranging from indiscriminate passing of laws to opposition space diminishing.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Perhaps, taking a shot at the centre for bringing legislative bills without the approval of opposition or parliament, the CJI stated that laws were being passed without any scrutiny.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Accountability forms the core principle of democracy. Particularly, the leaders in the opposition used to play a stellar role. Unfortunately, the space for opposition is diminishing. We are witnessing laws being passed without detailed deliberation and scrutiny," the CJI said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The CJI, who is set to retire next month also remarked that the earlier mutual respect between the government and the opposition was now translating into hostility.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“The diversity of opinion enriches polity and society. Political opposition should not translate into hostility, which we are sadly witnessing these days. These are not signs of a healthy democracy,”</p>

<p>The CJI also egged the state assemblies to meet more often and utilise their potential to full. “Yes, the Constitution does not specify the minimum number of days for which the state Assembly must meet every year. However, there is no doubt that the citizens will definitely get benefited by longer engagements,”</p>

<p>Lastly, the CJI talked about the overburdened justice system of the country where process has become the punishment. He remarked that nearly 80 per cent of the prisoners in the country are undertrial prisoners.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
"The challenges are huge. In our criminal justice system, the process is the punishment. From hasty, indiscriminate arrests, to difficulty in obtaining bail, the process leading to the prolonged incarceration of under trials needs urgent attention," added the CJI.&nbsp;</p>

India's SC Chief Justice Ramana bats for opposition, questions passing of laws and calls out the hasty arrests

<p>Chief justice NV Ramana on Saturday (April 30) said that India has a backlog of 40 million cases in lower courts.</p>

<p>"We have 20 judges per million population, which is highly inadequate to deal with the rising trend of litigation," Ramana told a conference attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief ministers of most states.</p>

<p>He also highlighted that most of the 24,000 approved positions for judicial officers on India's lower courts remain unfilled.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Modi said, "I would appeal to all CMs and CJs of high courts to give priority to these matters on the basis of humanitarian sensibility and the law."</p>

<p>"We need to encourage local languages in courts. This will not only increase the confidence of common citizens in the justice system but they will feel more connected to it."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"In 2015, we identified about 1,800 laws that had become irrelevant. Out of these, 1,450 such laws of the Centre were abolished. But, only 75 such laws have been abolished by the states," he added.</p>

<p>Prime Minister Modi said as India celebrates the 75th anniversary of Independence, the focus should be on the creation of a judicial system where justice is easily available, is quick and for everyone.</p>

<p>"In our country, while the role of the judiciary is that of the guardian of the Constitution, the legislature represents the aspirations of citizens. I believe that the confluence of these two will prepare the roadmap for an effective and time-bound judicial system in the country," he said.</p>
