On 15 August 2021, speaking on the occasion of the 75th Independence Day celebrations held at the Supreme Court lawns, Chief Justice of India, N V Ramana, lamented the “sorry state of affairs” of lawmaking and parliamentary debate in the country. He observed: “We see a lot of gaps in legislation, there is a lot of ambiguity in making laws. There is no clarity in the laws. We do not know what purpose the laws are being made for”.
