Reform Judicial System: Nehru
New Delhi, September 18


Prime Minister Nehru today urged for reform in the system of judicial administration in the country so as to eliminate delays and make the administration of justice effective and speedy.

Courts and judges, he said should not function “in ivory tower” and laws should be interpreted in a way which would bring out “an understanding of the social forces of the day.” Such an interpretation would make things smoother in a changing world while a reverse interpretation would only compel the enactment of new laws to bring out the social purpose.
