He added that rebranding the existing courts as commercial courts, without creating a special infrastructure, will not have any impact on the pendency. “Therefore, the issue of pendency is multifaceted in nature. I hope the government takes into consideration the suggestions received during these two days and resolves the prevailing issues”, said Justice Ramana.He said president Ram Nath Kovind has constantly encouraged the entry of women into the profession and also called for increased representation of women in the judiciary. He added that the Attorney General K.K. Venugopal’s suggestions on the first day of the event, were also enlightening. “While highlighting the issue of judicial pendency, he proposed the restructuring of the judicial system and altering the hierarchy of the Courts. This is something that merits consideration by the Government”, said the Chief Justice.He emphasized on clearing misconceptions that many people in this country believe that it is the courts which make the laws. “Another set of misunderstandings relate to the belief that the Courts are responsible for liberal acquittals and adjournments. However, the truth is that the public prosecutors, advocates and parties – all have to co-operate with the judicial process. Non-cooperation, procedural lapses and faulty investigation cannot be blamed on Courts”, he added.
