President Kovind said that it should be our responsibility that everyone gets justice in time, decisions should be in the language understood by the common man.
“This would be possible only when all stakeholders associated with the judicial system bring necessary changes in their thinking and work culture and become sensitive,” President Kovind added.
While addressing the people at the event, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the High Court of Allahabad is the largest high court in Asia which is serving justice to 24 crore people of the state.
