Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], April 14 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath along with Union MoS Jitendra Singh on Monday inaugurated the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) in Lucknow.
Addressing the event, the Chief Minister emphasized the importance of tribunals, stating that the role of CAT is to provide a platform to the officers and employees associated with government whose matters are pending in courts from long time and provide justice to them timely.
CM Yogi said, "Today is very important for us, because today is the birth anniversary of the architect of the Constitution BR Ambedkar... The government always had clear objective behind tribunals. The cases in our courts are pending for a long time. In order to not to waste courts' necessary time on these long pending cases, these cases were being heard by tribunals. The government's aim is that these tribunals should be able to provide justice to the concerned parties on the basis of merit in a proper manner. With this clear intention, tribunals have started working in different parts of the country."
"The role of CAT is to provide a platform for the problems of officers and employees associated with various government works and social system related to the central government, who felt that justice was not being done to them at any level and to provide them timely justice through this platform," he added.
Hoping that the newly inaugurated CAT will provide timely justice, CM Yogi said, "Today, CAT has been established for the central employees of 16 janpadas. A huge building has been made and is dedicated for them. I am confident that as per the wish of PM Modi, it will play an important role in providing timely justice to all the workers who due to some reasons didn't get justice."
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister further stated, "The first priority of good government is rule of law, but it should be communicable, understandable and simple. Even a common man, a common worker, a common citizen should be able to reach to the government for any kind of injustice done to them and by getting a timely hearing, the matter should be resolved on the basis of merit."
Highlighting the problems of delayed justice, CM Adityanath asserted, "If justice is not delivered on time, then I feel that there is nothing worse than a joke like this in the system."
Citing an example, the Chief Minister said, "Many times you must have seen how long it takes to get justice in a case, many times generations are passed, but the hope of justice remains low. I remember there was a case related to Gorakhpur Math, that went to the court in 1956, and after ages, it came to the Supreme Court, and its decision was given in 1997. You can imagine that among these forty generations, I was the third generation, and I did not know what that case was." (ANI)
