🚩⚖Quotes from Justice Ranjan Gogoi, the Chief Justice of India.⚖🚩 @ ✒GBG⚔

1.   "Independent judges and noisy journalists are democracy's first line of defence".

2.  "Will it be wrong to suggest that a fair share of our demographic dividend is being unjustifiably lodged in the jails and mostly for petty or less serious offences?“

3.  On urgent hearings,.....  "If somebody is going to be hanged tomorrow, then we can understand" (Urgency).

4.    "Justice is not something that is a standalone precept but an amalgam of other ideals like “socialism”; “democracy”; “liberty”; “equality”; “fraternity”, to name a few. They are not isolated silos because their undying endeavor is to establish one discipline – of overall justice, of an inclusive society."

5.  "The Vision of Justice was indeed attained in the courtroom,  not once, but multiple times,  but has it translated into reality? Has the success of these sterling verdicts reached the ground ?
I will let the facts speak for themselves. On the ground, it is a descent into chaos and it is worrisome on all counts".

6.  "There is an India that believes in 'New Order' and there is an India that lives below a ridiculously drawn Poverty Line, on daily wages, in night shelters with no access to education or healthcare, let alone access to the Courts of Law. The ambivalence is intriguing. And, this is exactly what I call as getting lost in translation."

7.  "The way things stand today, court processes are a trial even before the trial has begun. While I cannot say if it is a collective failure on our part but for a nation governed by the rule of law, is it not a matter of concern that to this extent at least, we are defying the idea of inclusiveness? Not a reform but a revolution is what it needs, to be able to meet the challenges on the ground and to keep this institution {JUDICIARY}  serviceable for a common man and relevant for the nation."

8.    "This institution { of JUDICIARY} is the last bastion of hope and the one that the citizenry believes firmly, will give justice to them, come what may. I will only say that if it wishes to preserve its moral and institutional leverage, it must remain uncontaminated, independent and fierce, at all times. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. So is an institution. And if introspection is where we have to begin, we might as well begin there."
