Share FacebookTwitterWhatsAppPinterestLinkedinCopy URLTelegramEmailTumblrReddItPrintKoo NEW DELHI, Jan 15: Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Thursday called upon lawyers to wholeheartedly engage on the administrative side of the justice delivery system and move beyond “articulation of grievances”. CJI Kant, who was speaking at an event organised by the Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) to felicitate him, said when the Bar and the bench share the ownership of “administrative innovation”, the system is more likely to command trust even during the period of transition. A Bar that is prepared, ethical and conscious of its duties strengthens the administration of justice, and by encouraging such a Bar and acknowledging its strength, the foundation for the establishment is reinforced, the CJI said.
