TFP Bureau, Raipur, September 15, 2025: Chief Justice of the Chhattisgarh High Court and Chief Patron of the State Judicial Academy, Justice Ramesh Sinha, on Sunday inaugurated a one-day divisional judicial seminar for Bastar division officers, emphasizing that every judicial decision must recognize the human struggles that lie behind cases. The seminar, held at Prerna Hall of the Collectorate Bhawan in Jagdalpur, brought together 43 judicial officers from Jagdalpur, Kanker, Dantewada and Kondagaon districts. Justice Amitendra Kishore Prasad, Judge of the High Court and Portfolio Judge for Kanker, was present in person, while senior officials of the High Court joined virtually.<\/p>\n
In his address, Justice Sinha said that the judiciary today carries immense public expectations. He stressed that judicial education is not a one-time exercise but a continuous process, particularly at a time when laws are evolving rapidly and society is facing complex new challenges. He urged judges to consistently expand their knowledge and sharpen their judicial capacity in order to discharge their constitutional duties with integrity, sensitivity and efficiency.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the socio-economic and cultural context of Bastar, the Chief Justice said the region presents both unique challenges and important opportunities for the justice system. He underlined the responsibility of judicial officers to ensure that justice reaches every section of society, particularly the marginalized and vulnerable, and emphasized that their work is central to maintaining public confidence. \u201cBehind each case there is a human story of struggle, hope and faith in the judiciary. We must strive to ensure that justice is delivered in a timely, transparent and logical manner,\u201d he told the officers, urging them to work with empathy, patience and impartiality.<\/p>\n
The day-long seminar also served as a forum for discussing contemporary legal challenges and exchanging best practices. Judicial officers presented detailed analyses on matters ranging from cheque dishonour cases under the Negotiable Instruments Act to mediation processes, enforcement of decrees, and the latest Supreme Court judgments on remand and bail. The Chief Justice said such seminars enrich the efficiency of judicial officers and equip them to handle the complexities of judicial work more effectively.<\/p>\n
The programme began with a welcome address by the Principal District and Sessions Judge of Jagdalpur, followed by an introduction from the Director of the Chhattisgarh State Judicial Academy.
