August 15, 2014 11:04

A day after Parliament unanimously passed the Constitution (99th Amendment) Bill to do away with the collegium system, Chief Justice of India RM Lodha on Friday said that he hoped that judiciary, executive and Parliament work without any interference.

"I am sure people in judiciary, executive and Parliament have mutual respect for one another and each is allowed to work unhindered," the CJI said.

Stressing on the need for use of technology, Justice Lodha said it is high time that tools of technology are provided to police and judiciary for quick disposal of cases.

Meanwhile, allaying fears of any interference in the working of the judiciary, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad assured that the Government is committed to independence of judiciary.

In order to do away with the outdated laws, the Union Minister said his government will ensure that 200-300 obsolete laws are repealed.
