Agartala Aug 23: Tripura Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha today said that advocates and judges must work for the betterment and benefit of the people, and emphasized a fair, fast, accessible and affordable justice delivery.
He said this after inaugurating the Court of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate and Civil Judge (Jr. Division) at Mohanpur in West Tripura District today.
Dr. Saha said that Mohanpur has witnessed massive development in the last three years and this day will be written in golden letters in the history of Mohanpur.
“Maintaining the guidelines, all the works have been completed. I want to thank the people who were engaged in constructing the building. We have eight district courts, and 15 sub-divisional courts; with Mohanpur, it will be 16. We must go with the times. Keeping Mohanpur Court as a model, we will set up sub-divisional courts in the rest of the sub-divisions,” he said.
Dr. Saha also said that judges observe the advocates who come to court to see whether they are prepared or not, and based on their preparation, the judges deliver judgments.
“Sometimes advocates come to court without proper preparation, and as a result, judgments get delayed. When people are in trouble, they come to court and wait for their judgment. Advocates and judges must work for the betterment and benefit of the people. Nowadays, everything is available at hand due to the internet. Judgments are expedited in Tripura, and this should continue. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been working for development, security, self-reliance, and progress in every aspect. We are now progressing day by day. The judiciary plays a key role in the development of the country,” said Dr. Saha.
“We are working to build Viksit Tripura and for that, we inaugurated the Vision Document yesterday. Our economy, growth, employment generation, women empowerment, and every sector are progressing due to the principle of good governance. We can see the brighter future of Tripura as the parameters of development are visible and positive in different sectors. Our GSDP has also increased,” he added.
He further said that the present state government will extend necessary assistance to the judiciary and reiterated that justice must be fair, fast, accessible and at an affordable cost.
