Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju: Amidst the ongoing tussle between the Central Government and the Supreme Court on many issues, the Law Minister has given a big statement regarding bail petitions. In which he has said that the Supreme Court should not hear bail petitions and small cases. Kiren Rijiju made this statement while referring to the thousands of cases pending in the Supreme Court.
Keeping the government’s side on the New Delhi International Arbitration Center Amendment Bill 2022, Law Minister Rijiju said this in the Rajya Sabha. This bill was passed by voice vote on Wednesday 14th December.
Law minister told why the name was changed
During this, the Law Minister said that if we work unitedly, India will definitely become the world’s arbitration center in the coming days. One can say why the name is being changed, I believe that a lot is kept in the name. Good work also goes with a good name. We are not a Singapore, here the country is the city. Please inform that the name of the Arbitration Center has now been changed from New Delhi International Arbitration Center to India International Arbitration Centre.
The Law Minister said, there are many such centers in our country where arbitration work is going on, but the root cause has not been seen. People of our country go to different countries. After this initiative we will see many changes. We can invite the business community of the world to India. Regarding the quality of arbitration centers, the Law Minister said that we should have worked in this field for many years. In 2016, PM Modi announced that India will have to be self-dependent and India will have to become the arbitration center of the world. After that this initiative started.

Questions raised on trial in court
The Law Minister said that the biggest problem in India is that if a decision comes in India, it will go to the High Court, after that it will go to the Supreme Court. That’s why people think that going to India is like getting trapped. I do not want to go that way, I cannot say that by amending the constitution, we want to reduce the authority of the court. But this is a matter of serious concern. If a case is decided in a forum, then it is wrong to try it again in the court. During this, the Law Minister mentioned London, Singapore and other countries.
Regarding the judges, Rijiju said that all the retired judges of the Supreme Court and the High Court are in favor of arbitration. Because it earns crores in a month. If expenditure has to be made for justice, then people will go to a place where less money is spent. The Union Minister said that he will start working on this as soon as possible.
Let us tell you that earlier, Supreme Court Chief Justice DY Chandrachud had said about the bail petitions that the judges of small courts are afraid to decide on bail petitions. The reason for this is that they are afraid of being targeted in a heinous crime case. Justice Chandrachud is continuously working on settling the pending cases in the Supreme Court and has also expressed concern about it.
