Corruption intolerable, says Sessions Judge

Interaction with lawyers at Bar room

Ludhiana, April 11
Corruption in the judicial system will not be tolerated at any level. If anyone is found to have indulged in it, strict action will be taken.

This was stated by Sessions Judge Gobinder Singh during interaction with lawyers at the Bar room at the district court complex here today.

He said the menace had been eating into the system and the common man was the worst sufferer. He appealed to lawyers to extend full co-operation in eradicating the evil.

He further said instructions had been issued to all judicial officers to respect members of the District Bar Association.

He sought the co-operation of Bar members in not seeking long adjournments so that the disposal of a large number of pending cases was speeded up.

Association president Jagmohan Singh Warraich put forth sentiments of lawyers. He stressed the need to respect Bar members when they appeared in court.

He said junior lawyers should be encouraged. He added that the judicial system could work more efficiently if relations between the Bench and the Bar were cordial.
