Chief Justice of India, Justice NV Ramana, while speaking at the foundation laying ceremony of a new administrative block in the Madras High Court said that the “language of the court should not be like Mantras in a wedding which most of us don’t understand”.
He said “The common citizen of this country cannot understand the language of the court. The parties must understand developments in their case, the language of the court should not be like Mantras in a wedding which most of us don’t understand.”
The event also saw the participation Supreme Court judges Justices Ramasubramanian and MM Sundaresh, Chief Justice of Madras High Court Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari, and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin.
Justice Ramana also said “I have been a strong advocate of Indianisation justice delivery system. By Indianisation I mean making judiciary suit the needs of people of India.”
It is noteworthy to mention that DMK chief MK Stalin back when he was an Opposition leader had on multiple occasions made similar remarks on Hindu wedding mantras.
Once while speaking at a Muslim wedding function said that if one were to look at the meaning of the mantras chanted during Hindu wedding ceremonies, it would turn out to be ‘disgusting’.
