Buldana (Maha): President Pratibha Patil
on Friday called for injecting dynamism in judicial process and
said judiciary should focus on training and reforms.
People have strong faith in judiciary, which should be
made more transparent, people oriented and influential, she
said here in Marathwada region of central Maharashtra.
Patil was speaking at a function organised in
connection with the centenary celebrations of the district
court.
Outdated laws should be modified or replaced by new
ones. At the same time, judiciary and its various organs
should be strengthened, the President said.
"The Bar and the Bench are equal partners in judiciary
and both should contribute in strengthening the image of the
entire judiciary."
Patil lauded Maharashtra Government for launching the
'Mahatma Gandhi Tanta Mukta Gaon Yojana,' a scheme aimed at
resolving disputes at the village level.
Women lawyers should handle the cases of
discrimination against women, prevention of child marriages
and dowry, she said.
Governor S C Jamir, Union Minister Mukul Wasnik,
Maharashtra Law Minister Radha Krishna Vikhe Patil and Buldana
District Guardian Minister Rajendra Shingne were present on
the occasion.
