Vague laws biggest reason for pendency of cases: PM

February 14, 2015 20:35

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that vague laws that lend themselves to different interpretations are the foremost reason for pendency of cases in courts.

"At the root of pendency of cases are laws that have 10 interpretations. There is shortage of quality manpower for drafting laws," he said while addressing the valedictory function of the sesquicentennial celebration of the Advocates Association of Western India

Seeking assistance of the legal professionals in drafting statutes, Modi said, "I have suggested that draft laws be posted online for legal opinion so that good and effective laws can be made with minimum of grey areas.

That will effectively bring down pendency of cases in courts. In this, bar associations can be of great help."
