Bar-bench cooperation necessary for welfare state to flourish:

A welfare state can flourish and effectively function if there is an administration of justice for which cooperation between the bar and the bench is a "sine qua non", Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra today said.
Justice Misra, who was sworn in as the 45th Chief Justice of India on August 27, 2017, expressed the view in his speech at an event organised by the Delhi High Court Bar Association to felicitate him on his appointment to the top judicial post.
"There can be no doubt that no welfare state can flourish unless there is an administration of justice and the sine qua non (an essential condition) of the same is the closest cooperation between the bar and the bench," he said.

The CJI, while addressing the audience comprising of several Supreme Court judges, the judges of the Delhi High Court and eminent lawyers, further said that the lawyers have an obligation to ensure that rule of law sustains.
Misra also said that where rule of law prevails, there will be no room for anarchy.
