Shillong, Apr 20: The University of Science & Technology Meghalaya (USTM) hosted Justice Iqbal Ahmed Ansari, former Chief Justice of the High Court of Judicature at Patna.
During his visit, Justice Ansari gave a special talk on “Law, Society and Their Changing Facets”, where he highlighted the dynamic relationship between law and society, emphasising that law must continuously evolve to reflect social change, constitutional morality, and the aspirations of the people.
