People deriving sadistic pleasure by misinterpreting court judgements: CJI
Observing that there has been an increase in people deriving sadistic pleasure by misinterpreting court judgements in recent times, Chief Justice of India Justice NV Ramana on Thursday said all are friends to the judiciary as long as they do not cross their limits.
Speaking at the launch function of 32 new judicial districts here at the Telangana High Court, Justice Ramana said judiciary is not a system that works for selfish motives of certain sections and “some friends” should remember that judiciary always works to upkeep people’s democratic rights always in accordance with the Constitution.
Expressing dissatisfaction over non-creation of national judicial infrastructure body, the idea mooted by him after he became the Chief Justice, Justice Ramana said some states lost the opportunity to pass a unanimous resolution in this regard during the recently held joint conference of chief ministers and chief justices of high courts.
“Benefits of the society and system are utmost important to the judiciary. In recent times it has become easy to slander people who are in higher positions. Those who could not achieve their selfish goals through the system are giving misinterpretation to courts’ judgements through which the number of people who get sadistic pleasure is also increasing. This is an unfortunate development,” Justice Ramana said.
“All are friends to the judiciary as long as they don’t cross their limits. Sparing the ones who cross their limits is anti-constitutional. I request those friends to keep this in mind.” Without referring to any particular section Justice Ramana said, “some friends” who do not have proper understanding of the legal system should know that judiciary is not a system that works for selfish motives of certain sections. It works to upkeep people’s democratic rights always in accordance with the constitution.
