Events `Fight terrorism, but respect human rights' Our Bureau
Jurist Fali S. Nariman addressing at a national seminar on human rights in Visakhapatnam on Monday. - C.V. Subrahmanyam
Visakhapatnam , March 30 THE rise of terrorism is posing many grave challenges to the rule of law all over the world and India is no exception, but in dealing with the menace, the basic structure of the Constitution should always be borne in mind and human rights should not be sacrificed, the noted jurist and Member of the Rajya Sabha, Mr Fali S. Nariman, has said. At the valedictory session of the 37th all-India law seminar on various facets of human rights here, he said it was a very difficult task, as there was no precise definition of terrorism, and the advocates and the judges would have to play a crucial role. The public too should be vigilant. Mr Justice Santosh Hegde, a judge in the Supreme Court, expressed concern over delays in rendering justice, which were driving people to seek extra-judicial solutions. He said both the judges and advocates should do some soul-searching and try to minimise the delays. He said the infrastructure should be vastly improved and he also expressed himself against advocates going on a strike, as it was causing great convenience to the public. Mr D.V. Subba Rao, Chairman of the Bar Council of India, which organised the three-day seminar, repeated the Bar Council's request for the formation of a grievances committee to deal with the complaints of advocates.
