Emphasising the need for easy accessibility of justice to the vulnerable sections of society, president Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday said there is an urgent need to reform the country’s judicial system.
‘In order to provide speedy and quality justice accessible to the ordinary citizens, there is urgent need to reform our judicial system,’ Mukherjee said here. He was in the city to deliver a lecture at a seminar organised by the Bar Council of Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim.
‘An effective justice delivery system requires that justice should not only be delivered on time, but should also be easily accessible to people, particularly people from vulnerable sections of society,’ Mukherjee said.
The approach to reform must be guided by a thorough understanding of current shortcomings and future needs of the system, he added.
