Chief Justice of India (CJI) N V Ramana has touched upon the need to be mindful of Lakshman Rekha or jurisdiction while addressing a meeting with the Prime Minister and various Chief Ministers of the country.

“The Constitution provides separation of power among three organs and the harmonious function between three organs strengthens democracy. While discharging our duty, we should be mindful of Lakshman Rekha,” said Ramana as quoted by NDTV.

The CJI was speaking at the joint conference of Chief Ministers and Chief Justices of High Courts.

The conference was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday morning.

Speaking at the event, Modi highlighted the need to introduce local languages in courts.

“We need to encourage local languages in courts. This will not only increase the confidence of common citizens in the justice system but they will feel more connected to it,” the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister has also urged the Chief Minister to repeal the outdated laws to make justice delivery easier.
