However, he stressed that the most important thing is to uphold the rule of law and ensure the peaceful resolution of disputes.
"Since the court plays a crucial role in a successful judiciary system, the development of its premises and other necessary technology facilities is important, but the more significant thing we need to keep in mind is that we must stand with the rule of law and stand with the peaceful resolution of law. The rule of law is what sustains this nation, and this new building also signifies the rule of law in the state," Chandrachud said.
