New Delhi: Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju, while addressing a felicitation ceremony for CJI NV Ramana, said that justice delayed beyond three years of time is justice denied. He said that a common man sells everything, puts his life resources to get justice and if he is unable to get it yet, it puts a question mark on the system.
On pendency of cases that has become a challenge, Rijju said it is actually at lower courts that had to be dealt with urgency. "I come from a political background so have seen dealing with cases but when a person from rural or urban area sells everything, his lifetime resources to get justice and if then justice gets delayed then its a big question mark on us. Delay beyond three years is really justice denied. The common man must be given priority," said Rijiju.
