Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a compelling address at the National Conference of District Judiciary today, emphasizing the judiciary’s critical role in steering India towards a “Viksit Bharat” (Developed India). His speech focused on the urgent need for modernization and reform within the district judiciary to enhance the administration of justice across the nation.
Modi praised the transformative impact of e-Courts, which have significantly accelerated judicial processes. “The integration of technology in our legal framework has made justice more accessible and efficient for all citizens,” he remarked, highlighting how digital platforms can streamline case management and reduce backlogs.
The Prime Minister also discussed the importance of legislative reforms, specifically the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, aimed at simplifying legal procedures and ensuring swift justice. “In cases of violence against women, timely justice is not just a legal necessity but a moral imperative,” Modi stated. He urged judges and legal practitioners to prioritize such cases to foster a safer environment for women in India.
Addressing the gathering, Modi reinforced the idea that a robust judicial system is fundamental to national progress. “Every decision made in our courts shapes the future of our society. It is essential that we work together to ensure that justice is not only served but is also perceived as being fair and prompt,” he added.
The conference, which drew legal experts and judiciary members from across the country, served as a platform for sharing insights and strategies for effective judicial governance. Participants engaged in discussions on best practices for leveraging technology and implementing reforms to enhance the efficacy of the district judiciary.
PM Modi’s address underscores the government’s commitment to strengthening the judicial framework as a vital pillar for achieving a developed and equitable India. As the nation continues to grapple with pressing social issues, the call for a modernized judiciary resonates with the broader aim of ensuring justice for all.
