Formulating laws without confusion is responsibility of lawmakers, says CM Bommai
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai opined it is the responsibility of lawmakers to formulate laws with more clarity and no confusion.Speaking at the inauguration of golden jubilee celebrations of Hosadurga Court organised jointly by Department of Judiciary and Bar Association of Hosadurga here on Saturday, he said judges and advocates must be in a position to understand the relevance of court rulings. According to the Interstate Water Disputes Act, a tribunal is constituted when any state suffers injustice. Once the tribunals are constituted it will take decades for the disputes to get resolved. Many disputes of Karnataka are struck in tribunals for two to three decades, and they have remained vexed without any solution. This will result in waste of water resources. If no changes are brought in this direction, it will pose problems for the government, judges and judiciary.
Easy delivery of justice
He said justice must not become the most difficult thing to get in the society but it must be received at ease. Now, fast track courts and special courts are constituted with the help of advanced technology. But there is a need for litigants to get proper legal guidance and cooperation at the grassroots level. If the society is honest, any shortage in the judiciary does not make a difference. But now there is injustice prevailing everywhere and the interference of the judicial system is needed.
Bommai aid disputes are increasing in the society and people are spending more time to get justice. This has become a bane for the country’s progress. Judiciary is one of the pillars of democracy and in the current social system ensuring justice is quite challengeable. But India has the best legal system and the need of the hour is to strengthen this system. As change is continuous, it requires reforms too, he added.The CM said Judge of the Supreme Court, Mr Justice A.S.Bopanna has come for this function and it is very rare that a judge of the country’s highest court has come to a taluk level court. This shows that even the Supreme Court cares for the magistrate court as most of the litigations of farmers come to taluk courts.
