Independence Day is not only meant for celebration, but an occasion for self-introspection about the progress made towards achieving cherished objectives of the freedom fighters, said Chief Justice of Telangana High Court Alok Aradhe on Tuesday.
Addressing the gathering after hoisting the national flag on Independence Day on the HC premises here, the CJ said the country’s democracy finds its resonance in the Constitution. Noting that the judiciary was one of the three pillars of democracy, the CJ said litigants have high hopes on HC which was responsible for the administration of justice.
Stating that pendency and arrears of cases were a parameter of the judicial system’s efficacy, CJ Alok Aradhe said he was glad that the disposal rate of cases in Telangana HC went up since he took over as CJ three weeks ago. “It is the result of teamwork. I am sure that with the collective effort of the Bench and the Bar, we ensure speedy disposal of cases,” the CJ said.
