New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Sunday that a strong judicial system is the cornerstone of a developed Bharat. The Prime Minister made these remarks at the ceremony celebrating 75 years of the Supreme Court held in the national capital.
He emphasized that today, the eyes of the whole world are on Bharat, and the world’s trust in Bharat is increasing. PM Modi highlighted the importance for Bharat to seize every opportunity, with priorities including ease of living, ease of doing business, ease of travel, ease of communication, and ease of justice.
“Indian citizens are entitled to easy access to justice, and the Supreme Court acts as the primary channel for this. The entire judicial system depends on the directions and guidance given by the Supreme Court,” he added. PM Modi mentioned that the Centre has distributed over Rs 7000 crore to improve the physical infrastructure in the courts, and Rs 800 crore has been allocated for the expansion of the Supreme Court complex.
He underscored that whether it’s freedom of expression, personal liberty, or social justice, the apex court has continuously strengthened Bharat’s ‘vibrant democracy’. “In this journey of more than seven decades, the Supreme Court has taken many important decisions on individual rights and freedom of speech. These decisions have given a new direction to the socio-political milieu of the country,” he added.
During the ceremony, the PM also launched citizen-centric information and technology initiatives, including Digital Supreme Court Reports (Digi SCR), Digital Courts 2.0, and a new website of the Supreme Court.
