New Delhi: A day after the reported encounter of the four accused in Hyderabad rape and murder case, Chief Justice of India Sharad Arvind Bobde today reacted saying justice should not become revenge.
“Justice should not be revenge. I believe Justice loses its character as Justice if it becomes revenge,” he said.
Speaking at the inaugural function of new High Court building in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, Bobde said, “Recent events in the country have sparked off the old debate with new vigour. There is no doubt that the criminal justice system must reconsider its position, must reconsider its attitudes, towards time, towards laxity, and towards the eventual time it takes to dispose of a criminal matter.”
“But, I don’t think justice can ever be or ought to be instant. And justice must never ever take the form of revenge. I believe justice loses its character if justice if it becomes a revenge,” he added.
He further stressed on the need to devise methods not only to hasten the litigation process, but to also altogether prevent it. “There are laws which provide for pre-litigation mediation,” he said.
Justice Bobde said that the judiciary as an institution needed to correct itself.
