The Chief Judge India Brvai said on Wednesday (September 17, 2025) that geographical, economic and linguistic barriers acted as impressive obstacles to marginal and vulnerable citizens in the approach to courts and legal education.
“In many parts of the country, the nearest court or law school remains physically out of reach and creates a gap in justice for those living in rural and remote areas,” said Madhava Memorial in his first Professor Madhava Memorial.
This event also recorded the launch of three books – sustainability and existence: a legal strategy for the Green Planet laws and disaster management in Asia: retrospect, both edited by Prof. (Dr.) S. Sivakumar; A Law and Society: During and after Covid Pandemic, Mr. Sivakumar and Prof. (Dr.) Lisa P. Lukos.
The justice of Surya Kant, who is the next main judge of India according to the standard of seniority, said that compassion and conscience must follow the administration of justice.
“Let the algorithms plan to hear, but let the compassionate steering go. Let the software look for precedents, but let the conscience find the proportions. In 2047 the machine can help, but one has to answer,” said Justice Kant.
The main judge Gavai noted that linguistic exclusion and economic disadvantage led to eternal alienation and marginalization.
“Also linguistic exclusion, maintained alienation, with legal education and management dominating languages unknown to a large part of our people.
Justice Kant said that a 2047 lawyer must be smooth in two languages - “Language and People’s Language”.
The chief judge stated that legal education must be reimaginated and extended by technology to support regional language teaching, strengthened legal assistance and create trips to first -generation students.
