Work has been done at a fast pace in last eight years to strengthen judicial infrastructure says, Prime Minister

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said this while inaugurating the first All India District Legal Services Authorities Meet in New Delhi today. He said,  justice delivery is equally important as access to the judicial system for any society and in this direction, judicial infrastructure plays an important role. Mr Narendra Modi said that in the last eight years, work has been done at a faster pace to strengthen the judicial infrastructure of the country.

Underlining India’s leadership in information technology and Fintech, the Prime Minister stressed that there can not be a better time to introduce more power of technology to judicial proceedings. He said under the e-Courts Mission, virtual courts are being started in the country. 24-hour courts have started functioning for crimes like traffic violations. He said, video conferencing infrastructure is also being expanded in the courts for the convenience of the people. The Prime Minister said that more than one crore cases have been heard through video conferencing in the country.  This proves that our judicial system is committed to the ancient Indian values of justice and, at the same time, is ready to match the realities of the 21st century.
