Mangalore, April 22: Delay in judgements is a serious concern that the legal fraternity needs to address said Justice V Gopal Gowda, Chief Justice, High Court of Orissa.
He was speaking after inaugurating the 'Regional Advocates Conference 2012' jointly organized by Karnataka State Bar Council, Bangalore and Mangalore Bar Association in the city on Sunday.
Stating that about judgements for 3 crore cases and more than 10 lakh cases under the Motor Vehicles Act are still pending in the country, Justice Gowda said that delay in judgements result in unfair rulings. Jusges and lawyers must work together to ensure speedy delivery of justice, he said.
Calling upon members of the Bar Council to maintain a healthy lawyer-judge relationship, Justice Gowda said that the seniors should be respected by the juniors while the former must groom the latter and rectify their mistakes in the proper manner.
Justice Gowda advised members of the legal freaternity to not consider a housewife jobless and useless while handling cases of compensation as she too shoulders several responsibilities.
Justice S Abdul Nazeer, Judge, High Court of Kanrnataka, Justice H N Nagamohan Das, Judge High Court of Karnataka, S L Bhoje Gowda, Member, Bar Council of India and Karnataka State Bar Council were present among others.
