The abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution of India is an example of Constitutional integration, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday..He also observed that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was a humane law."Abrogation of Article 370 is an example of constitutional integration. An example of a humane law such as CAA is in front of us. On issues such as these, in the national interest, usual justice is something what our court judgements explicitly state. From lower to Supreme Court, on issues such as this, a nation first principle has been adopted," he said..The Prime Minister was speaking at the concluding ceremony of the Rajasthan High Court’s platinum jubilee celebrations in Jodhpur..In his speech, he stressed on the need to simplify the justice delivery system in India and highlighted several reforms and advancements in the Indian legal framework.He stated that procedures complicate access to justice, and highlighted the complete repeal of colonial-era laws and the introduction of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)."Access to justice is always simple and straight but procedures complicate it. We should strive to simplify it. We have completely repealed all colonial laws. After so many years of independence, we adopted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita in place of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Justice in place of penalty is the core thought behind Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. BNS frees us from the shackles of colonialism," he said..Furthermore, PM Modi outlined the strides made in modernising the judiciary. He noted that over 18,000 courts across India have been computerised, with more than 3,000 court complexes and 1,200 jails equipped with video conferencing facilities..He also reiterated his call for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC), a demand he made on August 15. He pointed out that the government has taken a firm stance on this issue and that the judiciary has also long advocated for a uniform civil code."On issues of national integration, this stand of the judiciary only bolsters the trust of the common man on the judiciary," he added.
