GENNEXT 2021 - BUSINESS & LAW CONGRESS - Keynote Address by Justice Dipak Misra

This was followed by a crisp keynote speech delivered by Honourable Justice Dipak Mishra, Former Chief Justice of India. He opined, "Law, especially in a modern democratic Republic, fundamentally responds to the citizenry interest, the need of the time and also has an eye on the future. Our legislative system inherently permits progressive legislation having regard to the economic growth and progress and advancement in scientific technology. All these aspects are reflective in the present adjudicatory process but the same, when formalized into law, not only get assurance but also authenticity."

Justice Mishra made another pertinent observation, "From the days of Adam Smith to Amartya Sen and recently, Abhijit Banerjee, it has been the consistent view that the progress of economy of any nation is dependent on an existing encouraging atmosphere facilitating the transactional process and respecting consumer necessity."
