Itanagar News: Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Sunday that the judicial infrastructure, especially in the lower judiciary, should be strengthened so that justice can be accessible, quick and public. At the inauguration ceremony of the newly constructed Guwahati High Court, Itanagar Permanent Permacy, he said that the infrastructure is very important, especially in the lower judiciary. Rijiju said that good facilities are needed for judges and litigants. The Union Parliamentary Affairs and Minority Affairs Minister said that we have to make justice easier for the common people. The distance between people and justice has to be reduced. Justice should also be given beyond the courts. Highlighting the reforms of the Modi government, he said that more than 1,500 fruitless and obsolete laws made during the British period have been removed as they had created unnecessary problems for the common people.
Urge to spread legal awareness
Citing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said that the presence of the government in the lives of common people should be reduced to maximum. Rijiju said that more than five crore cases are pending across the country. Said that the Union Cabinet has sanctioned Rs 7,000 crore for e-court and related infrastructure. He said that since 2021 we have appointed 21 judges for the Guwahati High Court, including three for its backs in Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Nagaland. There was no High Court Judge from Arunachal till 2018. Rijiju, who represented the Arunachal West Parliamentary constituency, urged the state’s lawyers to spread legal awareness, as the formal judicial system in Arunachal has started late and the prevalence of customary laws continues.
Uniform Civil Code is not for tribal states
On the Uniform Civil Code, he said that it is for the whole country, but not for the tribal states of the Northeast. We have given it a discount here because we do not want to affect the existing tribal laws. Calling to increase the number of more district and sessions courts and employees in the state, Rijiju said that the Government of Arunachal Pradesh is providing all possible assistance to strengthen the judicial system. Union Minister of State for Law and Justice (Independent Charge) Arjun Ram Meghwal said that the new court complex is not an ordinary building, but a temple of justice. Meghwal said that the new court building will be the medium of development according to the ‘developed India’. In this program, state -of -the -art High Court building constructed at a cost of Rs 135.35 crore, which has five court rooms and modern facilities.
