Economic, linguistic barriers pose obstacles to poor in accessing courts, legal education: CJI
Citing a recent news report on a High Court judge reprimanding a young lawyer in court, the Chief Justice said judges must accept that they as well as the lawyers are like “two wheels of the golden chariot of justice”. No one is superior or inferior. “I won’t name the judge nor the High Court... but because of one judge, a young lawyer was so browbeaten that he became unconscious in the court..... Unless both judges and lawyers work together, the institution of administration of justice that exists for the citizens of the country cannot function properly,” he said. Senior lawyers too were ill-treated by some judges, judicial officers and quasi-judicial officers, the Chief Justice said.
