Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan today praised the judiciary for playing an important role in bringing in some of the landmark legislations passed by Parliament in recent years.
Balakrishnan, who is going to demit office next week, said that it is because of courts' intervention that the government has enacted legislation for free and compulsory education and the Right to Information Act.
"In recent years, the enactment of the Right to Information Act, the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act are some prominent examples of far-reaching legislations whose origin can be attributed to judicial interventions in some part," said Justice Balakrishnan at a national seminar on 'Law and Governance'.
