New Delhi: Reacting to Chief Justice of India Sharad Arvind Bobde’s 'you can't give instant justice' remark Vice President Venkaiah Naidu said that ‘you can't have constant delays.’

He further said that it is an area for everyone to see that their duties are well performed.

CJI Bobde while inaugurating a new building of the Rajasthan High Court had said that recent events in the country had sparked an old debate with new vigour. He further said that with time the criminal justice system must reconsider its position, reconsider its attitude towards time, towards laxity and towards the eventual time it takes to dispose of a criminal matter.

He also said that justice cannot be instant and that it can never take the form of revenge.

I believe justice loses its character of justice if it becomes revenge, he said.

CJI Bobde’s statement comes after Telangana Police encountered four accused of brutal gang-rape and murder of a veterinary doctor. Telangana police say that they had registered a case in connection with the encounter and the four accused killed in "retaliatory firing".

The brutal gang-rape and murder of a young veterinarian by four youth in Hyderabad shocked the entire country with many supporting the act. From politicians, sports stars to Bollywood personalities, everyone praised the Telangana Police for their action. However, many accused the cops of extrajudicial killing.

A fact-finding team of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) arrived in Telangana on Saturday to conduct a probe into the killing of all the four accused.

A two-member team also visited Chatanpally near Shadnagar town, about 50 km from Hyderabad, where the police killed the accused in the alleged exchange of fire.

Cops have claimed that the accused attacked the police personnel and opened fire after snatching their weapons forcing the police to retaliate.

Talking to the media, Cyberabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar said that all four died in a retaliatory fire while two policemen were injured.

The incident took place early Friday when the police team had taken the accused to the crime scene to recover victim's mobile phone and her watch they had hidden near the place where they set afire victim's body.
