’RTE example of directive principles being implemented’

Chief Justice Kabir said Lok Adalats have led to a “big transformation” and had a great impact in the justice delivery system. “Lok Adalats have reduced the number of cases filed in courts. They ensure that the matter is resolved at the initial stage.”

Emphasising on “translating directive principles into fundamental rights”,he said,“Unfortunately,our economic conditions are such that while child labour has been officially abolished,one still finds boys on the street serving tea and girls washing utensils.”
