Justice can never be instant: CJI
08/12/2019 , special correspondent, JODHPUR
Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sharad Arvind Bobde said on Saturday that justice could never be instant and it would lose its character if it became “revenge”.
However, the criminal justice system should reconsider its position towards the time consumed in disposal of cases, he noted.
His remarks, made at the inauguration of the Rajasthan High Court’s new building here with Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in attendance, came a day after the four accused in the rape and murder of a veterinarian were shot dead by the police in Hyderabad.
The CJI did not make any specific reference to the Hyderabad incident.
The Chief Justice said an old debate on delay in dispensation of justice had been sparked off with a new vigour after some recent events.
“But I don’t think justice can ever be or ought to be instant. Justice must never ever take the form of revenge. It will lose its character as justice if it becomes revenge,” he said.
