While speaking at the International Judicial Conference in Delhi, PM Modi hailed the judicial system in India, reminding people of some iconic judgments that the courts have passed recently. While translating a Sanskrit shloka PM Modi said, "Law is the king of kings, the law is supreme. For thousands of years, such views have made every Indian trust the judicial system of India."
"Recently, there have been some important judicial judgments that were a subject of global discussions. Before these judgments, several concerns were being expressed about consequences, but 1.3 billion Indians accepted these judicial verdicts wholeheartedly," said the PM.
'Faith of people in judicial system'
PM Modi added that for thousands of years India had progressed using the 'faith' of the people in the law system in India. "This was also the inspiration for our constitution," he stated. PM Modi also evoked Ambedkar and said, "Last year our constitution completed 70 years. The constitution is not a mere lawyer's document, it's a vehicle of life."
