New Delhi:
President Droupadi Murmu said on Sunday that efforts are needed to change the “culture of adjournments” in the courts to ensure speedy justice.
Addressing the valedictory event of the two-day National Conference of District Judiciary here, he said pendency of court cases is a big challenge for “all of us”.
“Every effort must be made to change the culture of adjournments in the courts,” he said.
President Murmu said all judges in the country have a responsibility to protect justice.
She said ordinary people's stress levels increase in courtrooms, a phenomenon she called “black court syndrome,” and suggested it be studied.
She also expressed her happiness at the increase in the number of female judicial officials.
The event was attended by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Minister of State for Law and Justice (Independent Charge) Arjun Ram Meghwal. President Murmu also handed over a flag and insignia of the Supreme Court during the programme held at the Bharat Mandapam here.
