Can everyone get justice in India? Explain your answer with examples
Answers
Answer:
The preamble of the Indian Constitution resolves to secure for all its citizens, justice-social, economic and political. ... Thus under the Constitution, a strict duty is cast on the State to ensure that there is compliance with every law.
Explanation:
While India can still claim to have adequate Courtrooms (access to the same by people in remote areas is highly contested), as per the 87th Report before the Rajya Sabha, approximately 43% of Court Halls in the High Courts in India do not have Judges.
As per the Press Information Bureau report dated March 3rd, 2016, there were 48,418 civil cases and 11,050 criminal cases pending before the Supreme Court as of February 19th, 2016.
Courts are understaffed and overburdened,
he Supreme Court had pulled up the Central Government for not having kept its target of making 50% of the Government buildings disabled friendly, and yet, Courts in India do not have disabled friendly washrooms or access ways.
In terms of distance: While the Supreme Court is supposed to be approached only in rare cases, for the poor and the downtrodden, the thought of even approaching it is rare. It makes no logical sense for a poor person whose rights have been trampled to travel all the way to New Delhi from remote places such as North East India, or the tip of Kerala. While the idea of having 5 separate Court of Appeals (East, West, North, South and Central) was once mooted, unfortunately, it has remained just a moot point.
