“Barring the metro towns and state capitals, courts in the nation should not have elementary facilities for litigants. Most of the subordinate (trial) courts of the country lack elementary infrastructure for judges, courtroom group of workers, attorneys and litigants. Adequate infrastructure is a sine qua non (essential) for aid of pendency and clearing backlog of cases in courts,” CJI Misra stated while addressing attorneys and judges at Orissa HC ultimate week.
He stated the litigants’ collective right to speedy justice “gives beginning to a corresponding responsibility at the a part of the state to construct and expand enough infrastructure with the intention to enable judiciary to accomplish its constitutional legal responsibility. If courts are denied elementary infrastructure, it might tantamount to violation of fundamental rights assured beneath Article 21 of the Constitution”.
“The most essential factor responsible for the ever mounting arrears and backlog of cases is the loss of good enough choice of courtrooms and other important infrastructure. We must spend money on the infrastructure of courts and bar in tune with future necessities,” he stated.
