Judge of the Supreme Court Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul on Saturday urged the judicial officers to show commitment to work.

Inaugurating a two-day state-level conference on 'Legal service: Alternative Dispute Resolutions, Past Performance and Effective Implementation in Future' organised here jointly by the Tamilnadu State and Union Territory of Puducherry Legal Services Authorities, Justice Kaul said he wanted to do plain speaking which is important.

He said the judges from higher to lower courts must show commitment to work.

He said, "The essential part in work commitment is to sit in the court for period of time the court has fixed to hold judicial processes."
The apex court judge said, "Wherever possible, judges could resort to mediation process making sure that older cases were decided on extreme priority basis."
The judge said, "The Lok Adalat and other alternative disputes system would help us and they should be encouraged."
