This Day That Age
The Union Home Minister, Dr. K.N. Katju, has urged Indian lawyers to take up the challenge of the changed times after the advent of freedom and prove their usefulness to society and the country as they had done during the struggle for the country's freedom. Dr. Katju, who was inaugurating the third Karnataka Lawyers' Conference at Belgaum on January 1, said Indian lawyers had a glorious past and they should keep up and continue that tradition of service to the country. Referring to the criticism about Constitution amendments, he remarked that such criticism was not justified. While Parliament enacted laws, it had no chance afterwards to say what it intended by a particular enactment. It was left to judges to interpret the Constitution which was many a time done on the basis of interpretations given by courts in America and Australia years ago on similar points. To him, this position seemed very strange as interpretations given by American and Australian courts one hundred years ago might not be correct in the situation obtaining at present in India.
