Chief Justice of Singapore Praises Indian Supreme Court For Handling 'Immense Caseload', Hails Its Judges As Hardest Working In World
Live LawThe Supreme Court of India is among the busiest courts in the world and its justices are among the hardest working judges because of the immense caseload that they carry, said Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon of the Singapore Supreme Court on his visit to India. “They will have an impact on one or both of those essential elements of our work competence and legitimacy, beside adding significantly to the pressures threatening to undermine the legitimacy of public institutions, including courts.” Justice Menon then proceeded to identify six specific types of challenges, most of them arising directly or indirectly from these global challenges, which have particular relevance to courts and legal systems. “They come together to form what we might think of as a perfect long storm, bearing down specifically on justice systems around the world,” he said. Fifth, the phenomenon of ‘truth decay’, i.e., the proliferation of misinformation and devaluation of truth, would spread into court proceedings and attack the justice system by, inter alia, diminishing the legitimacy of judgements and judges, and eroding public confidence in the institution, therefore, “undermining the important stabilising function that the judiciary discharges in upholding the rule of law”. “Thus, while judges generally continue to let their judgments speak for themselves, most judiciaries no longer see anything wrong with other facets of public engagement that spread awareness of judicial work,” the chief justice said.
