Jammu, Feb 27 : Chief Justice of India Justice T S Thakur today batted for social audit of government performance in the implementation of proposals and schemes. "Time has come when there is a need of social audit of performance of the governments," Justice Thakur said in his address after inaugurating two-day workshop on un-organised sectors. He said an Act was enacted in 1996 but it took 10 long years for the J&K Government to constitute a board for this and when it will be enforced, is not known. "I dont know but say that judiciary sometimes over reach and when judiciary has to act, I don't call it an over reach," he asserted. In a system where the judiciary is in half strength, people are languishing in jails, awaiting justice, boards are not constituted, proposals not being cleared, the intelligentsia need to come forward and act |
