GUEST COLUMN | Judiciary needs a proper orientation to overcome technological illiteracy

The Hindu  

Published : Nov 17, 2022 10:20 IST The recent salvo by a judge of the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court lamenting the lack of knowledge of executive magistrates and a direction to the government to conduct training and refresher courses for them on basic concepts of criminal law has raised eyebrows. Under the old code, these magistrates also exercised judicial powers and heard cases sitting in a court that was normally called Court of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate. There are many high court judges who refuse to attend any such training programmes at the National Academy. It is high time the Supreme Court evolves a method by which even members of the higher judiciary are mandatorily required to go for training programmes so as to orient themselves to the new challenges.
