PM & LAW MINISTER of INDIA, saying something - doing else

New Delhi: Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh on Saturday said the government,
judiciary and the Bar Association should make concerted efforts to deal with
mounting arrears in court cases and the growing cost of litigation.
"It is important that concerted cooperative efforts are made by the government,
judiciary and the Bar Association to deal with the mounting arrears in our
courts and the growing cost of litigation," he said at the national conference
on 'Law and Governance' to mark the Golden Jubilee of the Bar Association of
India (BAI).

(What a Nautanki , Mr. PM? what has your Law minister done till now except but making mountains in the air)

Noting that equality before law would not be a living reality if citizens were
not able to access justice at affordable cost, Dr Singh said, "The plight of the
large number of undertrial prisoners in our jails should move the machinery of
justice to speedy corrective measures as part of the process of reforming and
improving the quality of governance in our country."

(Now this is too much Mr. Singh. Seems u have illusive vision about how courts work in India)

He expressed the hope that the conference would deal with the practice of law
over the years and the interplay of political, social and economic developments,
the socio-legal processes that deterred providing access to justice and the
necessary legal pre-requisites of good governance.

(Well keep your hopes alive Sardarji, I wish u live long enough to see these hopes getting fulfilled)


Pointing out that the judiciary, legislature and executive should not exceed
their respective powers as enshrined in the Constitution, Dr Singh said the
three organs of the state should work in harmony to maximise public good.
"It is assumed that none of the organs of the state, whether it is the judiciary
or the executive or the legislature, would exceed its powers as laid down in the
Constitution, " he said.

(Judiciary undoubted is the laziest department in India. Oh Hell, so many pending cases & still CJI boasts "we r the best judiciary in the world")


"Even though their jurisdiction may be separated and demarcated, it is expected
that all institutions would work in harmony and in tandem to maximise the public
good," he said.
Referring to one of the topics to be debated at the meet, Dr Singh said the
doctrine of 'separation of powers' was acknowledged as one of the basic features
of the Constitution.
"It is also commonly agreed that all the three organs of the state, namely the
Legislature, the Judiciary and the Executive, are bound by and subject to
provisions of the Constitution, which demarcates their respective powers,
jurisdictions, responsibilities and relationship with one another," he said.
Dr Singh said lawyers were an integral part of the system of administration of
justice and had a role not confined only to courts and advising clients.
"The role of lawyers is not confined to courts alone or advising clients in
business deals. It extends to being an integral part of our system of
administration of justice - and justice is not just in the legal sense, but
justice - social, economic and political - as set out in the preamble of our
Constitution, " he said.
Noting that lawyers had historically contributed handsomely to each of the areas
of justice, whether during Independence struggle, framing of the Constitution or
just government, the Prime Minister said even today outstanding lawyers were
part of his Cabinet, some of whom had been members of BAI.
"The BAI too has a larger objective beyond the furtherance of professional
interests. It aims at promoting public and national welfare in manifold
directions and upholding the Constitution of India and the Rule of Law," he
added.
Dr Singh said the BAI has always maintained very high standards of professional
ethics and values and recalled the history of the association through its 50
years of existence.
The Union law minister, Mr M. Veerappa Moily, said India's judiciary was the
largest in ensuring the rule of law, which stood on the shoulders of the lawyers
who are the link between the citizens and the judiciary.


Veerappa Moily - Talks loud , walks slow. He made a hell long list of Judicial reforms, equality of laws & Blah Blah BOW BOW. Noone knows when he will start acting)


"They play an important role and sensitive lawyers are the need of the hour. We
have to do everything to ensure this. That is why we have initiated a reforms
package starting with the National Legal Mission looking at governance issues by
evolving a litigation policy, an arrears grid and to provide an effective
infrastructure, " he added.
Mooting the idea of having e-courts and e-governance, a means of justice
delivery through the Internet, Mr Moily said the idea was to have an e-court in
every High Court, and one in every district within a year.



The rest of the topic is all non sense. Nothing is gonna Happen here. Dont waste our time Mr PM
