CJI says Legislature needs to revisit laws
The Hindu
"Sadly, our system is designed in such a way that by the time all the facts and law are churned in the court of law, much gets lost," says Justice Ramana.
The Chief Justice of India, Justice N. V. Ramana on Saturday said the Legislature needs to revisit laws and reform them with accordance to time so that they match “practical realities”.
The CJI, while inaugurating the new building of the Odisha State Legal Service Authority in Cuttack, also said there is a need for the executive and the legislature to work hand in hand in realising “constitutional aspirations.” “I emphasize, our laws must match with our practical realities. The executive has to match these efforts by way of simplifying the corresponding rules,” Justice Ramana said.
He also emphasised that it was important for the Executive and Legislature to “function in unison in realising Constitutional aspirations.” The CJI noted that it is only then that the Judiciary would not be compelled to step in as a law-maker and would only be left with the duty of applying and interpreting laws.
