“Therefore, divisive lines should not be drawn, and attempts to differentiate should not be made,” he counselled lawyers.
Dhankhar also called for financial support for the judiciary at the district level from business houses, corporate groups, and industrial giants.
“We should inspire Chambers of Commerce and trade and industry associations to support this cause. They should invest in local courts, as they have Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds to back this worthwhile initiative”, the Vice President said.
