“I am grateful to the lawyers who showed me respect during my service,” he said, adding that the role of lawyers in the restoration of the judiciary was prominent and that a strong judiciary requires a strong bar. Equipping the judiciary with modern facilities was the need of the hour, he stressed.
“I have tried to provide basic facilities to the prisoners, including virtual courts,” he noted, adding that he had provided biometric and other basic facilities for inmates in different jails.
The prisoners were connected to the courts through video link, he added.
The acting chief justice said the law was a vast discipline and emphasised that legal education was very important in this connection.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
