Chief Justice of India NV Ramana on Sunday, 15 August, lamented that lawmaking in India is now in a "sorry state of affairs" while adding that the judiciary is often faced with "a lot of litigation" as there is no clarity on the purpose of laws that are passed, reported Bar & Bench.
Addressing the Supreme Court Bar Association on the occasion of Independence Day, CJI Ramana said that in earlier times, the burden of courts in deciphering a law was much lesser as they were "discussed and deliberated in Parliament."
"Now it is sorry state of affairs, now we see legislation with sorry state of affairs. Now we see legislations with lot of gaps, and lot of ambiguity in making laws. There is no clarity in laws. We don't know for what purpose are the laws being made which is creating a lot of litigation, inconvenience and loss to the government and inconvenience to the public."NV Ramana, Chief Justice of India.
