`Justice still eludes poor'

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Chief Justice of the Andhra Pradesh High Court G.S. Singhvi regretted that the judiciary was faced with the same set of challenges as at the dawn of independence. In fact, matters had gone from bad to worse, he felt.

Justice continued to elude the poor, he said at the Republic Day celebrations at the High Court on Friday.

Mr. Justice Singhvi said that the poor were looking for legal remedies to their problems even as the catchy slogans of liberalisation and globalisation swept the country.

In this context, he recalled an observation made by former Supreme Court Judge O. Chinnappa Reddy in 1996 that judiciary needed to devote time to the poor.
