Abstract:
I have been asked to initiate the lecture-discussion on “Judiciary—
Judicial system in the past—as at present and future set-up”. I do
n o t presume, in the course of initiating the discussion on the subject,
-t o enlighten you with any information or material with which you
-are not already acquainted. Some of you are eminent lawyers from
-whom it is rather I who would get enlightenment. Others who are
n o t lawyers have better experience in life as well as in administration
-of human affairs which must have given them keener insight into the
actual working of our administration of justice. In. the course of
o u r day-to-day life or administration of affairs we generally get a
partial view of our judiciary. This discussion would enable us to
.get a comprehensive view of our judicial system as it was in the past
a n d as it is at present. About the future set-up I am not that confident
as to offer any definitive suggestion for acceptance. The working
g out of the future set-up should be a collective venture keeping
in view the lessons of the past, the expert experience of the present and a
-vision we hold of the society of the future.
