Speed up trials of crimes on women: PM to courts

Hindustan Times  

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday urged the Indian judiciary to accelerate the resolution of cases involving crimes against women, stressing that swift justice would significantly enhance the sense of security for women and girls, who make up half of the country’s population. Inaugurating the National Conference of the District Judiciary, organised by the Supreme Court of India, Modi termed the issue of atrocities against women and safety of children a “burning issue” and a matter of “serious concern for society”. Imploring the Supreme Court to take necessary steps to train the district judiciary in this new system, Modi expressed confidence that the district judiciary conference will come up with solutions to several issues to fulfil the promise of “justice to all”, as he noted that people in the country have reposed unwavering faith in the Indian judiciary. The PM underscored that a developed and modern India is the shared vision of 140 crore citizens during “Azadi ka Amrit Kaal,” with the judiciary, particularly the district courts, serving as a foundational pillar. Praising the Supreme Court and judiciary for their contributions, the PM also noted the significance of events like the national conference for district judiciary and all India district court judges conference that was held earlier this year in Gujarat.
