SC 律師協會主席 Kapil Sibal 表示：“印度法官人口比例極低”

新德里，8 月 31 日：最高法院律師協會主席卡皮爾·西巴爾 (Kapil Sibal) 週五對該國法官數量表示擔憂，稱法官

Supreme Court Bar Association President Kapil Sibal on Friday expressed concern over the low number of judges in the country, stating that the judge population ratio in India is abysmally low.

最高法院律師協會主席卡皮爾·西巴爾週五對該國法官人數過少表示擔憂，稱印度法官人口比例極低。

Sibal made the remarks while addressing the inaugural event of the 2-day National Conference of District Judiciary, being held at Bharat Mandapam here. The event also saw Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating the National Conference of District Judiciary. On the occasion, PM Modi unveiled the stamp and coin commemorating 75 years of the establishment of the Supreme Court of India.

西巴爾是在巴拉特曼達帕姆舉行的為期兩天的全國地區司法會議開幕式上發表講話時發表上述言論的。這場活動也見證了莫迪總理為全國地區司法會議開幕。值此之際，莫迪總理揭幕了紀念印度最高法院成立 75 週年的郵票和硬幣。

In his address, Sibal said, “…The judge population ratio is abysmally low in India. The roster at the level of district and sessions level is overburdened…”

西巴爾在演講中說：「…印度的法官人口比例極低。區級和屆會級的名冊負擔過重…”

Highlighting the need to empower trial courts, district and session courts to deliver justice, Kapil Sibal said, “…Our trial court, district and sessions court need to be empowered to deliver justice without fear or fervour…They are not subordinate as they deliver justice. the judiciary at that level should be instilled with the confidence that their judgments will not be held against them and that they represent the spinal cord of the justice delivery system…,”

卡皮爾·西巴爾強調需要授權初審法院、地區法院和開庭法院伸張正義，他說：「…我們的初審法院、地區法院和開庭法院需要被授權，能夠毫無恐懼或熱情地伸張正義…他們在伸張正義時並不處於從屬地位。這一級別的司法機構應該充滿信心，相信他們的判決不會對他們不利，而且他們代表著司法系統的脊梁…”

“In my career, I have seldom seen bail granted at that level. This is not just my experience but even CJI has said this because higher courts are burdened. After all, bail at the lower court is an exception…Liberty is the foundational substratum of a thriving democracy and any attempt to throttle it impacts the quality of our democracy…,” Sibal added in his address.

「在我的職業生涯中，我很少看到如此級別的保釋。這不只是我的經驗，連CJI也這麼說，因為上級法院有負擔。畢竟，下級法院的保釋是一個例外……自由是繁榮民主的基礎，任何扼殺自由的企圖都會影響我們民主的品質……」西巴爾在演講中補充道。

The Supreme Court is organising a two-day national conference of the district Judiciary beginning August 31 and September 1. The two-day Conference, organised by the Supreme Court of India, will host five working sessions that will deliberate and discuss on the issues related to district judiciary such as infrastructure and human resources, inclusive courtrooms for all, judicial security and judicial wellness, case management and judicial training.

最高法院將於 8 月 31 日和 9 月 1 日開始組織為期兩天的地區司法全國會議。地區司法機構，如基礎設施和人力資源、包容性法庭、司法安全和司法健康、案件管理和司法培訓。

Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud were also present at the event.
