MOILY 2LST
Moily, who is visiting the UK at the invitation of the
British Secretary of State for Justice Kenneth Clarke, said he
had very warm, cordial and fruitful meeting with Clarke and
was quite happy with his visit.
He said Clarke reiterated the resolve of the coalition
government to develop a special relationship with India and
build closer ties in all spheres including the judiciary.
Expressing his admiration for Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh, Clarke acknowledged India's "powerful regard for the
rule of law" and spoke of the challenges the Indian judicial
system faces.
Moily also had meetings with the Lord Chief Justice
and the Attorney General.
The minister also met Chairman of the Legal Services
Board David Edmonds and Chair of the Judicial Appointments
Committee Baroness Usha Prashar.
He had a Round Table discussions with the Bar Council
of UK, Law Society of UK, Society of Asian Lawyers and the
London Court of International Arbitration which he described
as "constructive and purposeful."
Moily also interacted with several UK law firms and
the UK India Business Council, visited the Supreme Court of UK
to witness the proceedings and attended a reception at the
House of Commons.
Emphasising that India has evolved a National
Litigation Policy, Moily said Government at the Centre and
States are the biggest litigants and efforts were on to settle
them at the earliest.
In rural areas, the Gram Nyayalaya including Mobile
Courts have been set up and the Gram Nyayala would dispose off
cases within six months. In the next five years, there will be
5,000 Gram Nyayalayas (village courts), he said.
On the question of opening up the Legal system to
foreign legal firms, he said, the issue is being discussed
with the Bar council of India.
"There is slight change in their perception."
Answering a question on the issue of the Bhopal gas
tragedy, he said "in future it will not be repeated".
Replying to a question he said, "Government of India
is also enthusiastic about having a special relationship with
Britain in several spheres." PTI
