Members of the "Forum for Fast Justice" went to Howrah District Court today with banners like "Save the nation", "Save the Judiciary".
"There should be reforms in the judiciary. It is need of the hour. But do not blame the judge and lawyers altogether. Both are tied to the system. In fact, the system needs to be changed," National Convener of the Trust Pravin Patel said.
Many lawyers gathered outside the Howrah court premises to discuss their views and displeasure of the slow judiciary.
The Forum's 35-day Nyay Yatra began on January 30 from New Delhi aiming to sensitise people about the need for time-bound disposal and reduction in backlog of cases.
The activists, comprising social workers and lawyers, will cover around 170 districts as well as major towns across 22 states in four-wheelers. The Yatra will culminate at Jantar Mantar on March 4 in the national capital.
