"Court facilities, like all buildings, are not just made of bricks and concrete. They are made of hope. Courts are made to realize the virtues of justice and the rule of law. Every case that comes before us It is with that hope. "When we invest in the safety, accessibility and comfort of our judges, lawyers and litigants, we build more than just an efficient system: we create a fair and inclusive system," the CJI said.
He also said these GRIHA-rated buildings would be filled with greenery and have shading facades, diffusion of natural sunlight inside the buildings and rainwater harvesting, among other environmental measures.
"This year, Delhi experienced the hottest weather on record. We have experienced two heat waves followed by unprecedented rainfall in a single day. Our infrastructure must reflect the reality we live in: climate change can no longer be ignored. A crucial step is to incorporate an eco-friendly lifestyle into our daily lives, which includes reducing carbon emissions. I was delighted to learn that the new buildings will focus on mitigating heat islands and reducing our environmental footprint," said CJI. .
The CJI further added that the buildings we hope to witness have a lot to offer. First, they would expand the court's capacity to function in one of the most populous jurisdictions in the NCT of Delhi.

Judges carefully deliberate the merits of each side's arguments before reaching to a decision, ensuring a thorough and balanced analysis of the issues at hand Similar to how the cornerstone of buildings shapes their structure and orientation, the cornerstone of justice and equality must shape the orientation. of the courts' approach to cases. Our legal and constitutional system is fundamentally based on the virtues of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity," the CJI said.
