Mumbai, Oct 23 (PTI) Stating that a robust judiciary is of "utmost importance" to make democracy successful, Union Law and Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday underlined various decisions taken by the Centre to improve the judicial infrastructure.
Rijiju was speaking at the inauguration of two wings of the annexe building at the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court.
Notably, speaking after Rijiju at this event, Chief Justice of India N V Ramana said judicial infrastructure is important for improving access to justice, but it is baffling to note that its improvement and maintenance was being carried out in an ad-hoc and unplanned manner in the country.
The Law minister said it was the responsibility of the Union government to ensure that the judiciary is not only extended full support but is also made robust.
He also called for a "harmonious relationship" between the judiciary, executive and legislature.
"A robust judiciary is of utmost importance to make our democracy successful.
