Supreme Court judge Justice Manmohan on Saturday (April 18, 2026) said any criticism of the existing system should not be treated as its condemnation but rather as a suggestion.
He was speaking at a legal conclave and awards ceremony organised by the Society of Indian Law Firms (SILF) and Society of Legal Professionals (SILP) on the theme: 'Justice to all-Accessible and Affordable.'
"Last time, I spoke about improving the system, and my address was misunderstood by some people, as if it were a condemnation of the system. When you talk about improving the system, you often have to talk about the issues that arise in the system.

"When you highlight the shortcomings in the system, you do so only to improve the system, not to condemn it. Therefore, it should not be treated as a condemnation of the system. Nor should it be used as a weapon by those who wish to further their own case," the apex court judge said.
