Make judiciary an essential service: Sibal

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Saturday urged the judiciary to declare a plan to ensure that justice delivery system is made an essential service, noting that people were facing hardships due to restricted functioning of courts during the coronavirus lockdown.

He said the Government cannot take such a decision as the judiciary is independent.

“I want to urge the judiciary to take a decision on this,” Sibal said while demanding that justice delivery system be made an essential service.

The Congress leader, who was addressing an online press conference, said people do not know where to go to seek justice during the lockdown. (AGENCIES)
