No clarity of laws,No proper debate in Parliament- CJI Ramana

Chief Justice of India NV Ramana expressed disappointment over the lack of quality debate in Parliament, calling the current situation “a sorry state of affairs”. Ramana said, "It seems that there is a lack of quality debate in Parliament while enacting laws. This leads to a lot of litigation and the courts, in the absence of quality debate, are unable to fathom the intent and object behind the new law.” Comparing it with earlier times when both houses of parliament were "full of lawyers", he asked the legal fraternity to also contribute their time towards public service. "(There is) no clarity of laws. We do not know what the purpose of the law is. It is a loss to the public. This is when lawyers and intellectuals are not in the Houses," he added.

Speaking at an event to mark the Independence Day at the Supreme Court on Sunday, Ramana said unfortunate what you see now in the Houses... Debates back then in the Houses were very constructive. I saw the debates over financial bills and very constructive points were made. Laws were discussed and deliberated. One had a clear picture of the legislative part of the law, he said."If we look at our freedom fighters, many of them were also in the legal fraternity. The first members of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were filled with lawyers' community," Chief Justice Ramana said. The lawyer community should rededicate themselves to public life and bring change in parliamentary debates, CJI NV Ramana further said.
