While speaking on the occasion, the Chief Justice said that the Bench and Bar have a huge role in reposing faith in judiciary and justice delivery system. He said “people come to the court with high hopes considering the courts as ‘Temple of Justice’ where justice would be meted out to them and it is the duty of the court to provide easy and accessible justice to all the litigants”.

While interacting with members of Bar and Bench besides officers of Civil and Police administration, the Chief Justice said Judiciary and Executive are like cogs in the wheel who should work together for imparting speedier and quality justice besides maintaining law and order for larger good of the society. He said under the constitutional framework all the organs viz judiciary, executive and police have collective responsibility to provide justice as these are repositories of constitutional trust.
