FRANK SPEECHES AS SEEN BY THE CARTOONISTS

JUSTICE STILL A CYNICAL PHRASE and AN ILLUSION

"Justice is still a cynical phrase for the common man despite efforts that are being made to make it accessible, as it is felt that the interest of the litigants goes unnoticed in the "typhoon" of legal proceedings" - This is what Chief Justice of India P Sathasivam said on Saturday while speaking on the occasion of National Legal Service Day.

"It is time to ponder over whether in 65 years we have been able to achieve the

cartoons ours. Ed.

goal to provide justice for people and whether we have created an atmosphere where everybody has equality of opportunity and status for people.  I still find justice is

still an illusion for millions of people in the country and it is not accessible to a majority of the population" - Added Justice G. S. Singhvi.

No doubt with more than half a dozen Court Orders in our favour justice is so far an illusion for us. But such pious statements do provide some ray of hope. So let us 
remain optimistic and continue our legal battle with determination.
