New Delhi, Nov 10 Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday that every institution has to evolve in tune with the times.
His statement is seen as a veiled reference to continuance of the collegium system by the Supreme Court which had struck down the judicial appointments law.
He also suggested that rendering free legal aid to poor should be a criterion in selection of judges and that dedication and commitment of the administration must be ensured.
The Prime Minister was addressing a gathering of top judges, law officers and legal experts at the foundation day celebration of National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) here.
Complimenting the free grievance redressal mechanism set up by the judiciary, Modi called it a “big thing” as nearly 8.5 crore pre-litigation and pending cases were solved by the Lok Adalats in last two decades.
