Chief Justice of India N V Ramana called for “Indianisation” of the country’s legal system.
About Indianization of System:
It means the need to adapt to the practical realities of our society and localise our justice delivery systems.
Need for the Indianisation of system:
The working and the style of courts do not sit well with the complexities of India.
Our systems practise rules being colonial in origin may not be best suited to the needs of Indian population.
The need of the hour is the Indianisation of our legal system.
Means to Indianise the system:
Shorter Judgements: These days, judgments have become lengthy, which further complicates the position of litigants. For the parties to understand the implications of a judgment, they are forced to spend more money” .
Litigant Centric Judiciary: The CJI underlined that courts should be litigant centric, as they are the ultimate beneficiaries.
Simplification of judiciary: The simplification of justice delivery should be our pressing concern.
Transparency: It is crucial to make justice delivery more transparent, accessible and effective.
Ease of Access: Procedural barriers often undermine access to justice. The common man should not be apprehensive about approaching the courts and authorities.
