Supreme Court judge Justice Sanjiv Khanna Sunday said there was a “pressing need” to make laws simpler, accessible, more humane and relatable to the younger generation.
The top court judge, who is next-in-line to become the Chief Justice of India (CJI) after the retirement of incumbent CJI D Y Chandrachud in November next year, said that the Indian Constitution was a “living document” influencing millions of lives and urged all to “move forward with determination unity and optimism”.
Justice Khanna was speaking at a Constitution Day event in the Supreme Court in the presence of President Droupadi Murmu, CJI Chandrachud, Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal and several other dignitaries.
