Apr 30, 2022

New Delhi. April 30 (ANI): Speaking at the Joint Conference of Chief Ministers and Chief Justices of High Courts at Vigyan Bhawan, Chief Justice of India (CJI) NV Ramana on April 30 stated that decisions of court aren't implemented by governments for years. He said, “Decisions of court aren't implemented by government for years. There is deliberate inaction despite judicial pronouncements that aren't good for health of democracy. Although policymaking is not our domain, if a citizen comes to us with their grievances then court can't refuse.” “The law should be made after thorough debates & discussions incorporating the needs and aspirations of concerned people. Often there is litigation because of the non-performance of Executives and inaction of Legislatures which are avoidable,” CJI Ramana added.
