During the National Rule of Law Convention 2026, Chief Justice of India Surya Kant emphasized that the quality of India's legal system is a critical factor in achieving the nation's ambition of becoming a $10 trillion economy. He stated that while capital and policy are important, the legal framework must uphold the rule of law to attract long-term investments. CJI Kant noted that the legal foundations established during India's economic liberalization in the 1990s were adequate for a different era but must evolve to meet current demands. He pointed out that investors require a legal system that is honest, consistent, and predictable to foster trust. Furthermore, he advocated for the integration of technology into the legal system, stating that it should be treated as core infrastructure rather than an optional enhancement. The CJI also called for sustained collaboration between the legal community and the judiciary to advance commercial jurisprudence effectively.
