Chief Minister Raghubar Das said that since people have irrefutable trust over judicial system in the country, hence responsibility of the people being associated to the Judiciary gets augmented. Addressing a gathering of newly appointed Civil Judges while distributing appointment letters to them at Nyay Sadan in Ranchi on Sunday, Das also added that his Government had been working towards ending dearth of manpower in judiciary.
“State Government has been working towards ending the dearth of manpower in judiciary of which appointment of 40 Civil Judges is a part of it. 75 more appointments will be done in the days to come. Very soon the shortage of manpower will be fulfilled with fresh appointments in the State,” said the CM.
“Judges must expedite in disposing of the pending cases so that people can get justice on time,” said Das. The Chief Minister stressed on the importance of good law and judicial system in building modern society as it may not be able to work efficiently without it.
