Judiciary Needs to Function 24 x 7 Like Hospitals: CJI Surya Kant

The Chief Justice of India, Surya Kant, emphasized that the time has come for the judiciary to function like hospitals 24x7 to provide immediate relief and address the agony of the common man. 

Speaking at an event organized by the Madhya Pradesh High Court, the CJI highlighted that technology and AI-driven infrastructure have ceased to be mere luxuries or administrative conveniences. 

Instead, they have become constitutional instruments essential for ensuring affordable and timely justice under Article 39A. 

While praising the judiciary's digital resilience since the COVID-19 pandemic, he cautioned that the digital transition must remain inclusive by expanding technological training and awareness in rural and tribal regions.
