Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said that “it is important to promote local language in courts” to strengthen the connection between a common citizen as court as the complexities of the law can be difficult for a common man to understand. “Easy and quick availability” of justice should be the common goal of the system, he added.

PM posed a question before the gathering “In 2047, when the country will complete 100 years of its independence, what kind of judicial system would we like to see in the country? He said we all need to focus on making our judicial system so capable that it can fulfill the aspirations of India of 2047
