Following the protests in the past, amid the heated politics in Jamia, AMU and JNU, the country's Chief Justice SA Bobde has said that universities should not act like assembly line production units. He said that the idea of a university shows what we want to achieve as a society.

At a function organized by Chief Justice Bobde in Nagpur, he said that universities are not just brick and mortar structures. Certainly they should not function like assembly line production units (units producing the same type of product). The most important thing is that the idea of a university is what do we want to achieve as a society…?

For your information, let me tell you that Chief Justice Bobde puts his arguments on sensitive issues in a logical manner. Recently, he gave a ruling on the plea of lawyer Vineet Danda, that the country is going through a difficult situation when efforts to bring peace here Should be done and such petitions will not help in bringing peace. The petition sought strict action against those who interfered in peace and harmony over CAA. On Saturday, CJI Bobde said that an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system should be developed for the courts to provide justice. Delay can be stopped. He also stated the need for mediation to settle the pending cases in the courts. He was addressing the 19th biennial state level conference of judicial officers in Bengaluru.
