Former Chief Justice of India N V Ramana on Saturday expressed concerns over the government being the biggest litigator and pointed out that that a halt in “State-sponsored” litigation would reduce the judiciary’s problems by half.
Justice Ramana was speaking at the Indian School of Business Leadership Summit 2022 - Prism of Possibilities.
“As I told in the presence of the Honourable Prime Minister, one of the major concerns is that the government is the biggest litigator. The number of inter-departmental disputes, service matters, and those relating to the inaction of authorities clogging the system is appalling. Half of the judiciary’s problems would be solved the moment the government decides to put a halt to State sponsored litigation,” Justice Ramana said.
