"We are part of the three pillars of the democracy. Our obligation to the society starts from cooperating with the instructionto see that the public at large is able to get justice in a time-bound manner," he said, hoisting the national flag.
"Good infrastructure and right number of judges are important aspects but I think it is time to find a out-of-the-box solution because I think we will never be able to get right number of judges in proportionate with the population. Some thought process must start to deliver justice at the earliest considering the government being the largest litigator, heavy responsibility lays on the government in this regard but what is important than any of these things is the commitment and discipline which is required."
The CJ referred to the non-cooperation movement started by the father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi.
"We must keep in mind one thing the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi who was an instrument of non-cooperation, non-cooperation against a foreign rule, non-cooperation to bring out own rule, that dictum with due respect doesn't apply to our own rule. From non-cooperationit must turn to a co-operation for our rule to see development, and it is necessary that different sections of our society with difference of opinionwalk hand in hand."
Stating that country evolves into a developed society, the CJ said "as a developed nation is passing through a transmission phase; this transmission from a feudal system to a modernized system is always a little painful. Therefore we see in this process of evolution, we find some aspects which trouble us.
