Chief Justice of India NV Ramana speaking at the Constitution Day celebration on Friday, asked the Bar Association to stand up for what is right and against what is wrong and urged the lawyers to protect the judiciary from “motivated and targeted attacks”.
“…I want to tell all of you that you must assist judges and the institution. We are all ultimately part of one large family. Protect the institution from motivated and targeted attacks. Do not shy away from standing up for what is right, and against what is wrong,” he said while speaking at the Constitution Day celebrations organised by the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA).
The CJI said the most important feature of the Constitution is that it provides a framework for debate. “Perhaps, the most important feature of the Indian Constitution is the fact that it provides a framework for debate. It is through such debate and discussion that the nation ultimately progresses, evolves and achieves higher levels of welfare for the people,” he said.
CJI Ramana added that “the most direct and visible players in this process are, of course, the lawyers and judges of this country”.
