देश में भाईचारे की भावना अहम, आपस में लड़ेंगे तो देश कैसे करेगा प्रगति: CJI चंद्रचूड़
Supreme Court Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said that there is a need to maintain the spirit of equality and brotherhood by respecting each other in the country. Addressing the program ‘Our Constitution, Our Respect’ organized here under the aegis of the Law Ministry, the CJI said that the feeling of brotherhood is very important to maintain equality in the country.
CJI Chandrachud questioned, “According to the spirit of the Constitution, we all should respect each other. How will the country progress if people fight among themselves.”
The Chief Justice also said that the makers of the Constitution have given the highest place to human dignity. He said, “Baba Saheb Ambedkar had ensured that the values of justice, liberty and equality as well as the spirit of fraternity and the dignity of the individual were upheld in the Constitution.”
In the program organized in the auditorium of Maharaja Ganga Singh University here, the CJI also said that there is a connection between democracy and the Constitution of India. He said, “Understanding the Constitution also develops and nurtures the understanding of democracy. The messages of the Constitution need to reach every person. The spirit of the Constitution has to be conveyed to every citizen.”
The CJI also said that decisions in any court of the country should be in the local language. He said, “When I am sitting in Delhi taking a decision for a lawyer or a judge, it may be in a particular language, but if I am taking a decision for the common man, it should be in simple language.” “
The Chief Justice also announced the launch of e-court facility in Bikaner and said that the lawyers settled here will now be able to practice from their city itself. He said that “The Supreme Court of the country is situated on Tilak Marg, Delhi. But it is not the Supreme Court of Tilak Marg, it is the Supreme Court of India. Similarly, the Rajasthan High Court is also not just of Jaipur or Jodhpur; but it It is for entire Rajasthan.”
The CJI said, “Now the lawyers of Bikaner will be able to practice and advocate in the High Court from here itself.”
The CJI further said about the Constitution of India, “Many social and political movements contributed to the making of the Constitution. The Constitution was drafted keeping all classes in mind. It is not a document just for lawyers.” He said that Bikaner has also made a big contribution in the making of the Constitution.
He said, “One of the 284 members of the Constituent Assembly was Jaswant Singh from Bikaner. Maharaja Ganga Singh of the princely state of Bikaner was elected as the first Chancellor of the Chamber of Princes. The Constitution of India is closely linked to Bikaner.”
Earlier, Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal told that as the Chancellor of the Chamber of Princes, Maharaja Ganga Singh used to sit at the same place where initially the Chief Justice of the country used to sit.
