CJ Malimath in his speech also recalled the sacrifices made by freedom fighters during the struggle for independence.
“We shall always remember the sacrifices made by our revered forefathers, not only in the freedom struggle, but, also for the formation of the new Republic of India. It is, on an occasion like this, above all else, that we need to remember, and show our gratitude to those who have helped build India into a strong and independent country,” he said.
This day also serves as a vital reminder to renew our commitment to uphold the values enshrined in the Constitution, he added.
“The judiciary is one of the three pillars of the Indian democracy. Each pillar is designed to uphold and protect the Constitutional values. The primary duty of the judiciary is to ensure that justice is rendered through the timely adjudication of cases, without fear or favour, affection or ill will. Society looks up to the judiciary with faith and confidence,” the CJ said.
