• We have to ensure that we move towards a modern and equal judiciary. Unless we in the High Courts, be it the High Courts or the Scheduled Castes, realize that the district judiciary is the cornerstone of the judicial system, nothing will change. CJI Chandrachud said that we have to inculcate a sense of self-worth in the district judiciary.

We have to ensure that we move towards a modern and equal judiciary. Unless we in the High Courts, be it the High Courts or the Scheduled Castes, realize that the district judiciary is the cornerstone of the judicial system, nothing will change. He said that we have to inculcate a sense of self-respect in the district judiciary.
Pointing to the poor infrastructure of district courts, he said, "District judges are not subordinate, they belong to the district judiciary. We also have to change our mindset that how better court judges view the district judiciary."
The CJI quoted the bar and the bench as saying that women district judges do not have any toilets.
“I was told that women district judges have no washroom and they leave the house at 8 am and can use it only when they return home at 6 pm. For some people the toilets are away from the courtroom, so when the judge has to go to the toilet, he has to pass by the undertrials sitting there, which is very embarrassing for a judge. We have to first change the face of the district judiciary."

But we also have to make sure that technology is a course of exclusion. Don't be a source." The CJI said he said many lawyers do not have access to computers or internet.
