News Topical, Digital Desk : In his address, the Chief Minister stated that this university is a matter of pride for both the state and the country. The students graduating from here are playing a vital role in strengthening the judicial system of society and the nation. He noted that the initiation mantra, "Satyam Vad, Dharmam Char" (Speak the truth, practice the righteousness), given at the university's convocation ceremony, is the foundation of India's ancient Gurukul tradition. This same sentiment is also reflected in the mottos of our Constitution, Parliament, and judiciary: "Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah" and "Yato Dharmasya Tato Jayah."
'The stronger the judicial system, the easier it is to achieve the goals of good governance'
CM Yogi said that religion is a part of our way of life, while worship is a matter of faith. Religion means faithfully performing one's duties. Youth should move forward with this spirit. He added that a strong judicial system is essential for the success of a democratic system. The stronger the judicial system, the easier it will be to achieve the goals of good governance. Citing an example, the Chief Minister said that the ancient Ramrajya was a symbol of discrimination-free and just governance, which can be achieved in today's modern system as good governance.
'The state government has done many things to strengthen the judicial system'
The Chief Minister stated that the state government has placed special emphasis on the e-court system, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), cyber law training, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen the judicial system. Modern training rooms, sports complexes, and hostels are also being constructed in universities and colleges. He added that the government is continuously working to develop and train judicial officers, prosecutors, police, and administrative officials.
'Rule of law is effective only when there is excellent coordination between the bench and the bar'
CM Yogi said that during the elixir of independence, India has taken steps towards revolutionary change in the judicial system by implementing three new laws—the Indian Judicial Code, the Indian Civil Defence Code, and the Indian Evidence Code. The Chief Minister said that the rule of law can only be effective when there is excellent coordination between the bench (judiciary) and the bar (lawyer community). The bench symbolizes discretion, and the bar symbolizes compassion. When discretion and compassion come together, the true form of justice takes shape.
'Work has already begun on the construction of the Integrated Court Complex'
CM Yogi informed that work has begun on the construction of integrated court complexes in the state. Funds have been released for this purpose in 10 districts, where courts of all levels, advocate chambers, and residential facilities will be available in a single complex.
He stated that the Allahabad High Court is now known nationwide for its excellent infrastructure. Furthermore, more than 380 POCSO and fast-track courts have been established in the state to expedite the resolution of crimes against women and children. Efforts to provide speedy justice through Lok Adalats have also intensified.
'Forensic science laboratories have been set up in every range'
The Chief Minister stated that forensic science laboratories have been established in every district of the state, and the Uttar Pradesh State Forensic Institute is being established to train youth. He added that the process of integrating e-courts, e-policing, e-prosecution, and e-forensics into a unified platform is underway. This will make the judicial system more transparent, speedy, and robust.
Advance congratulations to Justice Surya Kant
Finally, the Chief Minister urged university students to give a new direction to the country's judicial system by following the path of truth, righteousness, and integrity. He also congratulated Supreme Court Justice Surya Kant, who will be sworn in as the 53rd Chief Justice of India this month.
