PATNA, Jan. 4 -- Chief Justice of India (CJI) Justice Surya Kant on Saturday said that "law draws its legitimacy from the people it protects". "Law is not just for those who can afford it, but for anyone who is in dire need of it," he said delivering the Convocation Address at the convocation ceremony of Chanakya National Law University (CNLU), Patna. Exhorting the graduating students to use their skills for people's benefit, he said "the question is not whether you have learned the law; it is whether you are ready to reshape it, to bend the arc of justice towards the communities that need it the most". "When you use your abilities to give voice to the unheard and dignity to the overlooked, you will be honouring not only your education, but the Constitutional promise that underpins it," the CJI added. Maintaining that "law has an uncanny knack of humbling even the most prepared minds", he said it is not an indictment of one's ability, but an invitation to grow and to develop resilience. He also thanked the Bihar government for giving seven acres of additional land to the CNLU, which would be long term investment in education. P3...
