All will Agree that Quasi- Judicial Authorities and Policy decision of central/ State Government are not in accordance with law and only our Courts - makes them Good and supervises the law- enforcement in true spirit.
Administrative Actions and Police Actions are always under our Courts Supervision- acts in accordance with law.
We must respect our Judges and Court staff and should put pressure on Governments to give more assistance and helps as needed. ; Give them latest and advanced facilities with free hands. Vijay M Vaghela
