Chief minister Hemant Soren on Saturday supported the view of prime minister Narendra Modi that the local languages should be introduced in the court proceedings so that people understand the law in an easy way.
The Chief Minister said this after participating in the inaugural session of the joint conference of Chief Ministers and Chief Justices of High Courts. The programme was held at the Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi where the PM addressed dignitaries.
In his speech the PM said that the legal jargon and proceedings should be in simple language. He said that it would simplify and expedite the justice delivery system.
Modi said that English is still used as the court language and the time has come to give space to local languages in the courtroom. Hemant Soren tweeted in support of the view of the PM.
“Attended today’s national conference. Completely concur with hon’ble PM
@narendramodi’s view that local & regional languages should be promoted at large in jurisprudence work at local level to ensure access & transparency to local communities,” he said.
Talking about the stand of his government, Soren said his government has developed infrastructure of the judiciary in Jharkhand.
“I shared our government’s commitment to strengthen institutions of justice. We have undertaken numerous works including boosting infrastructure of courts at multiple levels. Judiciary is one of the core pillars of democracy & we believe in its independent outlook,” he tweeted.
