bout Seminar
Amongst the three organs of the government, Judiciary is the only that is left with some
credit in class, mass and the public. Unfortunately, rightly or wrongly, systematic invasion
on the credibility of this institution is in offing. This seminar aims at to discuss whether
there is any truth or no truth in allegations of personal and institutional level wherein
judiciary has been made to stand on trial in public and its image is getting drastically
tarnished. MATS Law School, MATS University, Raipur, Chhattisgarh is providing the
platform to the members of the judiciary (who have no platform otherwise) to speak out for
themselves and their institutions without fear or favour as a purely academic venture
which in the end is effective enough to communicate to all stake holders e.g. the Public,
Litigants, Executive, Legislatures, Judges (serving as well as retired), to come forward and to
suggest ways and means to uproot and do away with these calumnies and onslaughton the
system which is back bone of the entire fabric. Come, join and sit with us to find out the
causes and the remedies before it is too late.
