-- National conference of ABAP held
in city
BHUBANESWAR:
“We have to improve our investigations and criminal justice system in such a
way that the culprits can be punished,” said Supreme Court judge AK Patnaik
while addressing the lawyers at the 13th national conference of Akhil Bhartiya
Adhivakta Parishad (ABAP) here on Wednesday.
Patnaik said the investigation
machinery should be separated from the law enforcement machinery to ensure the
better criminal judicial system. “When State judiciary is responsible for
giving effect to the central laws, then the centre should pay 50 per cent of
the expenses that the State bears for judiciary in all respects,” he added.
In his inauguration speech, the
Supreme Court judge said that advocates should not commercialise the legal
profession because it disturbs the routine of the court.
Parliamentarians and the
ministers should implement the constitutional obligations and objectives
enshrined in part IV of the constitution taking the national interest at the
forefront, he advised.
Gracing the occasion, Supreme
Court Bar Association president MN Krishnamani focused that appointment of
Judges should be made transparent in the higher judiciary and National Judicial
Commission should be established to ensure fairness in judiciary.
About 1500 delegates including
Supreme Court and High Court Judges, noted advocates from sub-division court to
the apex court across the country participated in the three-day long conference
on the topic of ‘Vitalising Constitutional and Democratic Institutions’ which
advocates to promote ethical standard among the lawyers and to ensure that the
country has a great constitution and judicial system.
