Chief Justice says the Union and state governments account for 50 per cent of the cases in the country

Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana on Saturday castigated “illegal arrests”, custody torture and biased investigations by police while spelling out why governments deserved most of the blame for the backlog of 4 crore court cases in the country.

“If police investigations are fair, if illegal arrests and custodial torture come to an end, then no victim will have to approach the courts,” Justice Ramana told an audience that included Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the chief ministers of the states.

He said the Union and state governments accounted for 50 per cent of the cases in the country, either moving court against citizens or forcing citizens to move court for redress against government inaction or harassment.

Another source of unnecessary cases burdening an overworked judiciary, he said, was the governments’ tendency to defy court orders, resulting in contempt.

The Chief Justice’s remarks on “illegal arrests” come a day after a sessions court in BJP-ruled Assam said the northeastern state was becoming a “police state”. It was referring to Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani being subjected to repeated arrests by Assam police, the latest in a case the sessions court found “manufactured”.
