It was the responsibility of the judiciary to ensure that justice was not delayed and the duty of concerned staff – judicial and legal – to accord priority to this. This was stated by P.G.M. Patil, Judge, High Court of Karnataka, in Chamarajanagar on Saturday. He was speaking at a function marking the inauguration of the first and second floors of the district courts in Chamarajanagar town.
He said the role of judiciary was critical in establishing a just society and hence all efforts must be made to ensure that there was no delay in securing justice. He observed that the district court has been provided with better amenities that should be utilised for the benefit of the public. The district is no longer backward. It has shown progress and development in recent years and has produced three HC judges, Justice Patil added.
K. Somashekar, HC judge, who presided over the function, said that the legal profession was considered to be among the best and it was the duty of the advocates and the members of the bar to live up to that reputation and discharge their duties in a responsible manner.
