Mangalore, Feb. 16 :1egal system in India needs to be reformed and revamped, to make it relevant to the changed times, and to bring it on par with the legal system practiced elsewhere in the world, opined Aravinda Limbavali, state higher education minister.
He was speaking after inaugurating the two-day national conference on revamping the system of legal education organized at SDM college here on Saturday February 14. Karnataka Institute for Law and Parliamentary Reforms (KILPAR) Bangalore organized the conference in association with SDM law college.
"Those who study law in India fail to become lawyers in England because of the persisting differences between the legal systems of the two countries. We are following a system that was put in place by the British. So, there is a need to reform and revamp our legal system," he added.
At present, some youth get directly involved with cyber crimes but the law relating to this kind of crime is not affective enough. Some of the crimes take place repeatedly, as those involved with them have found some loopholes in the legal system. For a good society to thrive, a strong and affective legal system is necessary and therefore reforming the laws has become a necessity, Limbavali insisted.
Dr. J S Patil, vice chancellor of Karnataka Law University presided over the function. MLC Ganesh Karnik and director of KILPAR G Dakshina Murthy were the chief guests.
Prncipal of SDM College Dr B K Ravindra welcomed all.
