Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud paid obeisance at the revered Golden Temple on Saturday and said that it is a great privilege and blessing to be able to pray at the Harmandir Sahib.
Speaking to the media here, CJI Chandrachud said, "It is a great privilege and blessing to be able to pray at Harmandir Sahib. I pray that all of humanity in our nation and beyond be happy, peaceful and prosperous. I was a student when I last visited the Golden Temple with my father in 1975." "It is a very divine and peaceful place and to come here and sit there and meditate is a whole other experience. It is for everyone to imbibe that experience and understand it," said the CJI. Earlier in the day, while speaking at the inauguration event of the National Conference on the Landscape of Technology in Courts, CJI Chandrachud said that technology should be a means of ensuring justice for everyone. Talking to the media, DY Chandrachud called the conference "unique" which was organised by the Punjab and Haryana High Court to discuss various aspects of technology including artificial intelligence. The CJI further informed that the central government has given approximately Rs 7,000 crores to all the state governments to regenerate the information infrastructure. "Phase 3 of e-courts is starting now, the central govt has given approximately Rs 7,000 crores to all the state governments, which I think will re-generate the information infrastructure," Chandrachud said. When asked about the three new criminal laws, Chandrachud said that it wouldn't be appropriate for him to comment on them as the challenge is pending in the Supreme Court. "Challenges against these laws are pending in Supreme Court, so it won't be appropriate for me to say anything about it," he said. (ANI)
