Venkaiah calls for making judicial system more accessible, affordable

Chennai, Feb 27 (UNI) Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu
on Saturday called upon the legal fraternity to make the
judicial system more accessible, affordable, understandable
to every citizen.
Delivering the 11th Convocation of the Tamil Nadu
Dr Ambedkar Law University here, he said the cost
of legal processes was a major impediment in making
justice accessible to all.
''A common perception is that there are many hidden
costs in availing the legal route to resolve disputes.
We have to find ways to reduce this out-of-pocket
expenditure to the common citizen'', he added.
Stating that there was also a serious issue of
protracted litigation, Mr Naidu said timeliness
in rendering justice was a major concern.
As the maxim goes, justice delayed is justice denied.
This delay is often attributed to huge pendency in
courts, frequent adjournments and long leaves of
courts.
''We have to address this problem of inordinate delay
and do whatever is possible in our own purview to
ensure speedier justice'', the Vice-President said.

Noting that there was no silver bullet to all these
problems, he said systemic solutions have to be
found to these challenges.
''For better access, more courts, special benches and
adequately staffed courts with all posts filled up are
required. Innovations like Lok Adalats and mobile
courts have to be leveraged upon wherever feasible'',
he said.
The system needs to be demystified and brought closer
to the people by conducting court proceedings and
delivering judgments in the language of local people.
''We must strive hard to reduce the out-of-pocket
expenditure for the underprivileged. Legal aid
mechanisms may need to be more streamlined'',
he said.
