Chief Justice Ramana is right

Hindustan Times  

In a landmark speech, at a conference of state chief ministers and high court chief justices, and in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Chief Justice of India NV Ramana offered a powerful diagnosis of what ails Indian judiciary on Saturday. Better laws, fairer enforcement of laws, less arbitrary decision making, more harmony within the executive, greater willingness of the executive to assume responsibility rather than pass the buck, obedience of court orders, and supplementing judicial capacity promptly will all help in reducing the excessive load on courts. CJI Ramana has backed the use of local languages in high courts, while PM Modi spoke of drafting laws in a manner where a conventional version draped in legal jargon was accompanied by one which has simpler terminology and is easier to understand. But if Justice Ramana’s comments can force the legislature to introspect, and the executive to act a little more fairly, it wouldn’t just help the judiciary, but also serve citizens better.
