Science and Technology are the modern-day engines of change and they continue to run relentlessly forward.
Justice Gajendragadkar (As His Lordship then was) made the following observations in its 58th report of law commission of India which is quite noteworthy:
“We have sound judicial traditions; a coherent pattern developed for the organization of the judiciary; and a rational and systematic judicial process.
There is no doubt that these factors have conferred great advantages on the country. An independent and efficient judiciary, a unified judicial system and a modernized procedure – though legacies of the preindependence era – have been cherished by us. The judicial system has earned the respect of the people; and the respect so earned is well deserved”.
Science and Technology are the modern-day engines of change and they continue to run relentlessly forward. The impact of change on all the areas of human life has been dramatic. Advancing technologies, along with the legislation designed to control it, will create crimes never before imagined. The future will see a race between technologically sophisticated offenders and the law enforcement authorities as to who can wield the most advanced skill on either side of the age old battle between the crime and justice.
