The Chief Justice of India (CJI) N.V. Ramana said here on Saturday that the denial of justice would ultimately lead to anarchy.
“Expeditious adjudication of disputes is the hallmark of a healthy democracy. Denial of justice would ultimately lead to anarchy. Soon, the institution of judiciary would be destabilised as people will look for extrajudicial mechanisms,” CJI Ramana, who attended the ceremony to lay the foundation stone of the new High Court complex in Srinagar, said.
He said that for the functioning of a healthy democracy, it’s imperative that people feel their rights and dignity are protected. “Peace shall only prevail when people’s dignity and rights are recognised and protected,” CJI Ramana added.
