M Lodha asked as to why can’t the system of law and justice operate for 365 days by drawing an analogy with medical facilities, which are available throughout the year. He said that there should at least be a debate on this issue. Justice Lodha was addressing the legal fraternity in Jodhpur during the foundation- stone laying ceremony of the building of Bar Council of Rajasthan.
