LUCKNOW, Aug 23: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the dream of good governance and a developed Uttar Pradesh can be realized only when the judicial system is smooth, quick, and accessible. Addressing the 42nd session of the Uttar Pradesh Judicial Service Association in Lucknow, the CM described the judiciary as the protector of good governance and reiterated his government's commitment to its strengthening. On this occasion, he unveiled the association's souvenir and announced a Rs 50 crore corpus fund for the Judicial Service Association, adding to the Rs 10 crore fund created in 2018.
Calling the conference the "Mahakumbh of Judicial Officers", CM Yogi said it reflects unity, mutual cooperation, and professional excellence. He welcomed judges, retired judges, and judicial officers from across the state, noting that the session coincides with the Amrit Mahotsav year of the Constitution. Drawing a parallel with the Prayagraj Maha Kumbh, he said the convention symbolizes the collective strength and efficiency of the judiciary.
The CM proudly highlighted that Uttar Pradesh hosts the country's largest High Court, with benches in Prayagraj and Lucknow, calling it a matter of prestige for the state. He praised the 102-year-old Judicial Service Association for its contributions, expressing confidence that judicial officers will continue to set new benchmarks of unity and efficiency.
CM Yogi underlined the importance of timely and affordable justice, informing that in 2024, 72 lakh cases were disposed of in district and trial courts. However, with over 1.15 crore cases still pending, he acknowledged the challenge and stressed, "The faster our pace, the stronger will be the public's confidence. The government is ready to cooperate at every level."
