Moily said that the centre wants the judicial system to have independence, which is resolved in the constitution.
Union law minister M Veerappa Moily today admitted about some aberrations in the judiciary, saying they are reflection of the society.
"Our judiciary enjoys the highest credibility and reputation. There may be some aberrations but these aberrations are reflections of the society," Moily told reporters in Panaji.
"But even then we want to see that such aberrations are removed," he added.
The union minister was in Goa to chair the regional review meeting on the implementation of the 13th finance commission recommendations on improving justice delivery and other matters.
Goa chief minister Digamber Kamat and chief justices of five high courts were present for the briefing.
Asserting the credibility of the judiciary, Moily said that India is proud of its judiciary.
"In fact we are proud of our judiciary. We have the largest judiciary and we have a judiciary which has upheld the rule of law in the country," the minister said.
Moily said that the centre wants the judicial system to have independence, which is resolved in the constitution.
He said that in order to create a favourable environment for the judiciary, the centre would like to provide them with adequate infrastructure and manpower.
The minister also said that the planning commission has approved Rs 14,000 crore to be utilized for five years.
"Around Rs 2,500 crore were sanctioned for morning and evening courts and special courts for the speedy disposal of petitions. The basic idea is that the cases should not be pending for more than three years," he said.
The planning commission has sanctioned Rs 750 crore for alternative dispute solutions and Rs 1,000 crore for Lok Adalats.
Moily said all the states have been asked to form action plan to utilize this fund.
"States have asked for flexibility in using these grants as there are specific problems with specific states," he added.
The minister said the states have been asked to work out a 'state litigation policy' so that more than 30 per cent space occupied by government litigations can be reduced.
