Speaking on the occasion of 50th anniversary of the establishment of Delhi High Court, Chief Justice of India, Justice T.S Thakur had laid emphasis on the moral aspect of the system of justice in the country. There is an unwritten code called judicial ethics. It is inherent in the very system and philosophy of judiciary as one of the three organs of a democratic state.
How does the public view the rectitude of the judges is what the judges need to introspect. We are aware that our democracy has to go through a maze of difficulties, controversies, pressures and possibilities. These are inherent in the very composition of our society which is heterogeneous in more than one way. The test of the judges lies in how much respect they show to the ethics of justice. Justice has to be delivered quickly as justice delayed is justice denied. Honestly speaking, people cannot develop a healthy perception of judiciary if it takes years at end to dispose of a case. People do not understand the intricacies of a judicial system and its requirements which is a complicated and time consuming system. They want quick justice particularly if the seeker of justice feels he has been done wrong. We appreciate that the Chief Justice has impressed upon the judicial fraternity not to succumb to pressures and maintain the ethic of their profession which is a sacred and a noble profession.
