Nagpur: “As citizens of India and Lawyers it is our duty to ensure that our fellow citizens are citizens in substance and in the true sense in the world and not merely on paper. And the only way to achieve it is to ensure Social, Economical and Political justice for all.
However, there’s difference between Justice and Charity. Justice firmly rooted in conception that all people posses certain rights. Charity on the other hand is premised on the greatness of the person who is charitable. Justice that too a root cause of Injustice, but Charity merely addresses after effect or symptoms of Injustice,” advised Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud to the students of Maharashtra National Law University (NLU) here, on Saturday.
