He drew parallels between the state’s judicial framework and indigenous justice systems like the Adi community’s Kebang, which emphasize consensus, fairness, and transparency. “Justice is not merely a verdict but a humane process,” he said, underscoring the importance of blending tradition with constitutional values.
Highlighting the new state-of-the-art court building, the Governor expressed optimism about a future where technology, transparency, and dignity remain at the core of judicial processes. He lauded India’s recent legal reforms replacing colonial-era laws with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, effective from 2024 — calling them people-centric changes that prioritize compassion and speed alongside fairness.
