  • MESSAGE

    Judiciary being a constitutionally envisaged institution of our democraticpolity, it is pledged to the sacrosanct preambular commitments of justice, liberty,equality and fraternity. Rule of law guarantees its protective succour to thelowliest, lost and the last in the societal order. Development of an individualpostulates conditions in which every person can enjoy, exercise and utilize hisor her potential to the fullest extent and actualize their legitimate aspirations.

    Axiomatically, apart from the curial dispensations, auxiliary institutionalenterprises do essentially inform and diversify the justice delivery mechanism.All round events encompassing such activities thus attest the functional progressof the institution. The periodical News Letter keeps the consumers of justiceabreast with the various facets of the institutional achievements and engendersa sense of collective oneness. The updates, apart from being the indices of thecontributions of the stakeholders, motivate introspection for enhanced endeavoursto better the accomplished. The desideratum is for resolved and unifiedinstitutional strivings as an integrated unit of all the duty holders.

    The present issue, I believe, is a step ahead in this comprehension.
