In a historic moment commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Supreme Court's establishment, President Droupadi Murmu unveiled the court's new flag and insignia during the closing session of the National Conference of District Judiciary. This new emblem, introduced at a pivotal juncture in the Supreme Court's journey, stands as a symbol of its enduring legacy as the guardian of justice in the world's largest democracy. President Murmu emphasized the Supreme Court's pivotal role in shaping Indian jurisprudence, which she noted is highly regarded on the global stage due to its significant contributions.
The event also provided President Murmu with the opportunity to commend the Supreme Court for its efforts in organizing numerous initiatives aimed at strengthening public trust and engagement with the judiciary. She praised these programs for enhancing the judiciary's image and fostering a stronger connection with the people.
In her address, President Murmu expressed deep appreciation for the judiciary, highlighting the public's perception of judges as figures of divine justice, entrusted with upholding principles of dharma, truth, and fairness. She emphasized the profound moral responsibility that judges and judicial officers bear in this respect.
"The image of the judiciary in the eyes of millions of citizens is shaped by the work of district-level courts," President Murmu remarked, stressing the importance of these courts in delivering justice that is prompt, sensitive, and affordable. She acknowledged recent improvements in judicial infrastructure, training, and resources at the district level but also pointed out the significant challenges that remain, particularly in reducing the backlog of cases, some of which have been pending for decades.
President Murmu advocated for the more frequent organization of special Lok Adalat weeks and similar initiatives to effectively address case backlogs. She also called for innovative approaches to make justice more accessible, suggesting that conducting judicial proceedings in local languages and contexts could bring justice closer to the people.
In her concluding remarks, President Murmu expressed optimism about the potential impact of the new criminal justice laws. She voiced her confidence that these reforms would usher in a new era of justice, reinforcing the judiciary's critical role in upholding the democratic values of the nation.
