New Delhi [India], March 31 (ANI): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is set to commemorate its Raising Day on April 1st, with the distinguished presence of the Chief Justice of India, D Y Chandrachud, who will deliver the 20th D P Kohli Memorial Lecture at Bharat Mandapam here.
Themed 'Adopting Technology to Advance Criminal Justice,' this year's lecture promises to delve into the critical role of technology in shaping the landscape of criminal justice.
