KOLKATA: Former Chief Justice of India Justice Uday Umesh Lalit said it is important to protect judiciary at the district level as it has to provide not only the finest solutions but also face unprecedented extraneous pressure and problems.
Speaking on Saturday at a symposium on “Independent judiciary: Critical for a vibrant democracy” hosted by the Bharat Chamber of Commerce and the Indian Council of Arbitration here, he said there have been instances of court decisions being affected by executive interference, but these have been appropriately handled to maintain the judiciary’s independence.
He also added: “We must protect our district judiciary which comes under tremendous pressure as compared to their superior judiciary personnel. Life is unfortunately very tough for persons manning district judiciary. They may pass orders which may not be to the liking of a person sitting in an appellate judiciary but restraint must be shown in making comments on the conduct of such judicial officers unless we are certain about it.”
