The Chief Justice of India made a bold statement at the Bar Association stating that the real strength of the judiciary lies in it's accessibility to the common man. Those facing arbitrary arrests, threats of getting their houses demolished , unlawful attachment of their properties, etc. must find relief in the legal system. Perhaps this new concept of 'bulldozer justice' resorted to by BJP states without following the letter and spirit of the law must be heavily weighing on his mind. He stressed that courts should provide a safe democratic space for individuals to seek protection of their lives and liberties. Hopefully his words will reach the ears of the ruling dispensation which has undermined and trashed every constitutional institution since it assumed office.
