Justice not justice if it’s revenge: CJI Sharad Arvind Bobde on Telangana encounter

Justice can never be instant and “loses its character as justice” if it becomes revenge, Chief Justice Sharad Arvind Bobde said Saturday at an event in Jodhpur.
Chief Justice Bobde’s remarks come after four young men accused of rape and murder were killed on Friday in what the Telangana police say was an encounter. The police action had its critics, but was largely welcomed by the public.
Chief Justice Bobde was speaking at the inauguration of a new Rajasthan High Court building, with Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in attendance.
He made a reference to “recent events” in the country as explained that the criminal justice system should reconsider its position towards laxity and the time taken to dispose of criminal matters.
