President Ram Nath Kovind virtually inaugurated the Constitution Day celebrations, organised by the Supreme Court to mark the 71st anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution today. 

Speaking on the occasion, the President was happy to note that the Supreme Court has continued to function and dispense justice amid the pandemic, using technological solutions like video-conferencing and e-filing. He commended the Bar, the Bench and the officials for not letting the coronavirus come in the way of fulfilling the duty of securing justice for all. He said that the compulsion induced by Covid-19 can indeed help further in finding more creative ways to fulfil that task and augment the access to justice.

Mr Kovind said that the Supreme Court has earned a reputation for its superior standards and lofty ideals. He observed that landmark judgments passed by the Supreme Court have strengthened the legal and constitutional framework of the country.

Pointing to the fact that Constitution is the lengthiest document of its kind, the President said that its bulk is not an issue if its provisions are well thought out.
