This is a silent revolution that is taking place, and it is all because of the hard work of judges, lawyers and other departments involved in justice system," he added. He pointed out that during the last three months the police department itself decided 71,000 complaints of the citizens and redressed their grievances with respect to registration of FIRs.

The CJ said it was first decided that there could be no justice in a court of law unless the testimony or the evidence produced in such courts was based on truth and nothing but the truth. The CJ said the judicial academies in the country initially designed for the training of judges but their scope had been expanded and now these academies have started training investigators, prosecutors and even lawyers," he added.
