The Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Minister of Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal among others were also present at the Supreme Court auditorium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Celebrating the 75th year of the Supreme Court, PM Modi launched multiple technology initiatives like Digital Supreme Court Reports (Digi SCR), Digital Courts 2.0, and a new website of the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While addressing the gathering, PM Modi said that the Supreme Court has strengthened India&#8217;s vibrant democracy. The laws being made in the country today will further strengthen tomorrow&#8217;s bright India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prime Minister further said that he has been also aware of the problem that all have been facing in the Supreme Court building. PM Modi reminded the government\u2019s approval of Rs 800 crore for the expansion of the SC building complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now no one should come to you with a petition like the Parliament House that unnecessary expenditure is being incurred, PM said it sarcasticly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also mentioned that the Padma Awards which were given this time also included the retired Supreme Court judge and the first Muslim female Supreme Court judge of entire Asia, Justice Fathima Beevi was honoured with Padma Bhushan. This is a matter of pride for me, PM Modi added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">VIDEO | &quot;An empowered judicial system is a part of Viksit Bharat. The government is working continuously and taking many decisions to form a trusted judicial system. The Jan Vishwas Bill is a step towards this. In the future, this will reduce the unnecessary burden on the\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FC9iQK56dC\">pic.twitter.com\/FC9iQK56dC<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PTI_News\/status\/1751521670920077819?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 28, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>CJI DY Chandrachud welcomed PM Narendra Modi with a statue of BR Ambedkar. The CJI also addressed the gathering and said that the apex court was established with a sense of idealism that laws would be interpreted by a constitutional court in accordance with the rule of law and not by colonial values or social hierarchies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chief Justice of the SC further said that it affirms the belief that the judiciary should serve as a bulwark against injustice, tyranny and arbitrariness. The Supreme Court is an institution of resolution and justice. The fact that people approach it in large numbers shows how far we have succeeded in discharging that role, CJI Chandrachud further added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the launch of an upgraded version of the Supreme Court\u2019s e-filing platform in May 2023, people have the facility of filing cases at the click of a button. It offers a host of improved features that have made 24&#215;7 filing of cases simpler, faster and more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, nearly 1,28,000 e-filings have been done so far, with a consistent rise in the share of e-filings compared to physical filings. E-filings are available in 25 states. They have recorded over 29 Lakh case filings. With the immense support of the Bar and the Bench, we were able to swiftly shift to virtual hearings during COVID, the CJI said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even after the pandemic, hybrid hearings continue to be a feature of our courts. That is, any Indian lawyer sitting in any part of the country, or the world can argue before this Court through video conferencing. This has democratised access to the Supreme Court. It has opened the space for those who were unable to approach the Supreme Court due to physical distance, he enlightened the court. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The laws being made in the country today will further strengthen tomorrow&#8217;s bright India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":500130,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"PM Modi inaugurates Diamond Jubilee celebration of Supreme Court in Delhi, says SC has strengthened country\u2019s vibrant democracy","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1497,125714],"tags":[161782,73,56],"yst_prominent_words":[],"ppma_author":[140543],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/d2r2ijn7njrktv.cloudfront.net\/apnlive\/uploads\/2024\/01\/28154630\/SC-jubilee.webp","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"authors":[{"term_id":140543,"user_id":4,"is_guest":0,"slug":"apnnewsdesk","display_name":"APN Live","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/478eacb893eda88aa6ed8d99b005bf58?s=96&r=g"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500127"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/500130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500127"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=500127"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=500127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<!-- html is corrupted -->
