New Delhi: It is high time that everyone not just think but also act on judicial reforms, President Pranab Mukherjee said on Wednesday.
In his address at a book release function, Mukherjee said the country's judicial system, which was raised more than six decades ago, requires major changes.
"Reform, I mean. Change is a continuous process. It cannot be stop and go. Every system with course of time develop certain clogs within itself. There is need for constant change," he said.
He was speaking after receiving the first copy of the book 'Judicial Reforms - Recent Global Trends' at Rashtrapati Bhavan from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who formally released it.
The book, written by Dalveer Bhandari, a judge at the International Court of Justice, talks about the need of judicial reforms.
