Govt working towards ensuring speedy justice to common man: Moily | The Government said on Thursday that to provide
speedy justice to common man, it has prepared a 'vision plan' which is intended to make the period of pendency of cases in the courts reduce from an average of 15 years to an average of three years by 2012. Minister of Law and Justice Dr.M.Veerappa
Moily informed the Lok Sabha today in a written reply that: "The Government has
taken various measures to provide speedy justice to common man. With a view to
ensuring expeditious disposal of cases, a 'Vision Statement' indicating an Action
Plan was presented in the 'National Consultation for strengthening of Judiciary
towards Reducing pendency and Delays'." "It is expected that the period of pendency
of cases in the courts will reduce from an average of 15 years to an average of
three years by 2012 after the National Mission gives effect to its strategies
to fully implement the Action Plan envisaged in the Vision Statement," the Minister
said. He further informed the House that the Government has also accepted the
recommendations of the 13th Finance Commission to provide a grant of Rs.5000 crore
to the States for improving the justice delivery system in the country. The first
instalment of Rs.500 crore has already been released to the States. With the help
of these grants, the States can, inter-alia, set up morning/evening/shift/special
magistrates' courts, also organise more Lok Adalats and strengthen alternate dispute
resolution mechanism with a view to reducing court pendencies. Dr.Moily also informed
that the Government has enacted the Gram Nyayalayas Act 2008, which provides for
setting up of Gram Nyayalyas at Panchayat level. Over 5000 Gram Nyayalayas are
expected to be established across the country. "As on 31.7.2010, the States of
Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Orissa and Maharashtra, taken together, have notified
144 Gram Nyayalayas out of which 47 have been made operational till date. These
Nyayalayas will provide affordable and accessible justice to the common man particularly
those in the rural areas," Dr. Moily stated. |
