The people of India have put their faith in the Supreme Court, in our judiciary. Therefore, these 75 years of the Supreme Court further enhance India’s pride as the ‘Mother of Democracy’. In the Amrit Kaal of Independence, 140 crore countrymen have only one dream of becoming a developed India, a new India.
We got a new Indian judicial code in the form of Indian Judicial Code
New India means a modern India with thinking and determination. Our judiciary is a strong pillar of this vision. We have got a new Indian judicial system in the form of the Indian Judicial Code. The spirit of these laws is – ‘Citizen First, Dignity First and Justice First’.
Our criminal laws have been liberated from the colonial mindset of rulers and slaves. But today atrocities against women and safety of children are serious concerns of the society. Many stringent laws have been made for the safety of women in the country, but we need to make them more active. The faster the decisions are made in cases related to atrocities against women, the greater will be the assurance of safety for half the population.
