Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi advocated for qualitative judicial reforms and emphasised that grading of various courts based on standard parameters should be developed for the quality of judgment.
Speaking at a conference of chief ministers of states and chief justices of high courts, he said the judicial process and dispensation of justice mechanism requires a paradigm shift.
‘In order to recognise people’s faith in the system and quality of judgments, our archaic laws and procedures need a fresh re-look, particularly those governing judicial process and procedures,’ he said. He said the ultimate goal is to achieve the highest standards of transparency and speedy justice delivery at affordable costs.
He said that instead of ‘gram nyayalayas’, ‘mobile taluka courts’ should be run for remote villages, once in a month. ‘To fulfil a vision of having at least one court in each of the 225 talukas in Gujarat, 183 courts of civil judge have been made functional, resulting in speedy disposal of litigations at local village levels,’ he said.
