Judicial reforms and youth TheChief Justice of India (CJI) Justice B.R. Gavai, while speaking at NALSAR University in Hyderabad, was quite forthright by bringing to the fore the deep flaws in the country's judicial system—especially excessive trial delays and the prolonged detention of undertrial prisoners, which erode public trust in justice. However, he expressed hope in young law graduates, whom he exhorted to lead with integrity and purpose. A practical path forward includes setting time-bound trial limits, increasing judicial appointments, integrating technology in court processes, and fast-tracking undertrial cases. Moreover, legal education must go beyond theory to instil ethical responsibility, shaping future lawyers as true guardians of justice. Mohammad Asad,Mumbai CJI is right about the craving for LLM from abroad Thestatement of the CJI B R Gavai as regards the fad of Indian students to go abroad for pursuing LLM courses is indeed true, particularly in the prevailing international circumstances. Moreover, laws may be universal but in practice they differ in the Indian context due to several inherent factors that must be understood at the grass root level. Returning to India after acquiring a PG qualification abroad does not in any way fetch more clients to practising lawyers. The young law graduates must evolve strategies to reduce delays in disposing cases, especially those related to innocent people, who have been in jails for decades together. The CJI has rightly advised students about not burdening their parents with financial requirements just to get a LLM from abroad but instead complete their higher education in India. Katuru Durga Prasad Rao,Hyderabad CJI needs to streamline delivery of justice Theadvice given by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Justice B.R. Gavai, who urged law students to avoid higher studies abroad and instead extend their legal knowledge to serve the underprivileged sections is highly appreciative. This can help achieve justice to all. I urge the CJI to guide his team of legal heads and officials to sort out all pending and come up with viable solutions so that the innocent victims could get justice. Conducting frequent Lok Adalats across the country will provide relief to lakhs of innocent victims and considerably address the problem of inordinate delays. Gudipati Anirudh,Secunderabad Kota was a multifaceted actor Kota Srinivasa Rao, popularly known as Kota, breathed his last in Hyderabad in the wee hours of Sunday at 83. He is known for his versatile portrayals, including as a villain, comedian and character roles. Though he was a stage artist, he transitioned to cinema and acted in more than 750 films. He proved his acting skills even in Tamil, Kannada and Hindi films. A gifted artiste, he could deliver dialogues in the local dialect of Telangana, Andhra and Seema with dexterity. His acting credentials are comparable to S.V. Ranga Rao, Rajanala, Kaikala Satyanarayana and Ravu Gopala Rao. He also forayed into politics and represented BJP in Vijayawada East constituency in 1999. The humble bank employee has won nine Nandi awards and was conferred Padma Shri in 2015. His demise is an irreparable loss to the film world, especially to Tollywood. Pratapa Reddy Yaramala,Tiruvuru (AP) Kota legacy will live for eternity The film industry, especially Tollywood, on Sunday lost a versatile actor, who excelled in whatever roles he took up. A former employee of SBI, Kota Srinivasa Rao passed into the pages of history on Sunday at the age of 83 years. His film career spanned over 45 years during which he starred in more than 750 movies across genres. A recipient of Padma Shri and mine Nandi awards, among several other honours, as a distant relative of his, I am sure that the legacy of Kota will stay on for eternity. N Ramalakshmi,Secunderabad

Delivering justice to last citizen of country is our fundamental duty: CJI Gavai
Prayagraj, May 31 (UNI) Chief Justice of India (CJI) Justice Bhushan Ramakrishna Gavai on Saturday said that whether it is the judiciary or the executive, it is our fundamental duty to deliver justice to the last citizen of the country. On the occasion of the inauguration of the newly constructed chambers and multi-level parking building of Allahabad High Court, the CJI said that in the 75 years of the Constitution, the judiciary and the executive have made many such laws, which have contributed greatly to bringing social and economic equality in India. "Land has been taken from the landlords and given to the people. Farmers were made the owners of the land. There are many such laws, under which the working class and labour class of the country were empowered," he said. On this occasion, he thanked Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for providing funds for such a big facility for the lawyers. He said that this building is being inaugurated today on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Ahilyabai Holkar, who worked in India with a sense of social justice, and is a matter of pride for us. The CJI said that when Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar presented the final draft of the Constitution of India before the Constitutional Assembly on November 25, 1949, the speech he gave was a direction-giving one for our country. "At that time, he had warned that unless we remove social and economic inequality, democracy will not be able to be established in this country in the true sense. Today we see that in our 75-year journey, our executive and judiciary have made a big contribution to bringing social and economic equality along with equality in India," he said. He said that as the CM also said that our Constitution has strongly taken the country forward towards progress in the period of 75 years. "When the Constitution was being made, it was said that it is too federal. Then Baba Saheb had replied that this is such a Constitution which will keep India united and strong in both normal and emergency situations," he said. He said, "Today we see what the situation is in our neighbouring countries and India today, after 75 years, is not only progressing, but whenever the country faces a crisis, it has remained strong and united. If the credit for this should be given to anyone, it should be given to the Indian Constitution." The CJI said, "I am happy that after becoming the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India, I have got the opportunity to speak on the holy land of Prayagraj in the first official programme itself. We have had a very close relationship with Prayagraj. Just now on the stage, Meghwal ji said that Yogi ji is the most powerful and hardworking CM of this country. I would like to say that the land of Allahabad belongs to powerful people." He said that the land of Prayagraj has a very dignified contribution in the history of UP. "The name of this land is written in golden letters in the legal field. Before independence, Motilal Nehru, Jawaharlal Nehru, Tej Bahadur Sapru and many such legal scholars are named among the few best lawyers of the country," he said. He said, "Similarly, in the Hindi literature of India, many scholars of Prayagraj like Mahadevi Verma, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Sumitranandan Pant, Suryakant Tripathi Nirala, Subhadra Kumari Chauhan have made a significant contribution. The entire country also respects the sacrifice of Chandrashekhar Azad in the history of India's independence." The CJI said, "Today, by inaugurating this grand building, we are dedicating it to the citizens of the country. I would like to congratulate the Allahabad High Court, its Chief Justice, all the Justice brothers and sisters and all the members of the Bar Association of Allahabad High Court that you have got such a grand building that will make the Bar Association of the entire country jealous. I keep roaming a lot in the country, have also gone abroad a lot, but I have not seen such a big building and so many facilities for advocates anywhere in the world," he said. He said, "For this, I would like to thank the CM for giving such a huge amount of funds. Not only this, with the efforts of the CM, work is also being done on judicial buildings in all the districts. In this, all the facilities will be provided to the judges as well as the parties, litigants and lawyers." Justice Gavai said that the government and the High Court have taken care not only of the judges and the lawyers but also of the litigants. "We have been told that a big construction will be done on the adjacent plot and great facilities will be provided to the litigants who come there. There will be special facilities for all, including the disabled and women. All these things show that we work not only for the lawyers or the judges but also for the citizens of the country, who come to the judiciary in the hope of justice," he said. He said, "I especially want to mention the judges of the High Court who sacrificed their bungalows for this building. This is a unique example between the bar and the bench. Unless the bar and the bench work together, the chariot of justice cannot move forward." UNI AB GNK
