On 23 May 2020, Vishnu Dutt Bishnoi, the Station House Officer in the Churu district of Rajasthan committed suicide. The state’s crime branch took over the probe and filed an FIR under Section 306 (abetment of suicide) of the Indian Penal Code.
Since Bishnoi had cited stress and dirty politics to be some of the reasons responsible for his extreme step, many individuals raised a demand for a CBI investigation. However, when things were going nowhere, legaltech startup Nyaykarta intervened.

EXPANDING ACCESS TO JUSTICE TO REACH THE POOR AND
THE MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES
Ms. Komal Audichya
Ms. Nikita Audichya
Abstract
Access to justice has different meaning in different societies. Even
if defined differently, it always has inherent relationship with
dispute resolution as the latter’s purpose is to do justice only.
Hence access to justice is synonym with access to dispute
resolution method provided by the state. This natural right didn’t
require affirmative state action but with the emergence of welfare
state it doesn’t mean only to litigate or settle the claim but also
equal, affordable, quick access to the forums and enforcement of
relief which is individually and socially just. The Constitution
provides substantive basis for this by guaranteeing certain
fundamental rights such as, equal protection of laws, equality of
status and opportunity, the right to life and personal liberty to all
its citizens and on violation of these rights to approach the court.
Even the Supreme Court has always tried to interpret the
fundamental rights along with directive principles to make access
to justice easier for the poor and underprivileged. However the
real experiences show that access to justice has become
inaccessible. The cases pending before the courts, high costs,
complicated procedure, paucity of awareness etc. have paralyzed
the legal system. This paper critically analyses the reasons for
lack of access and suggests reforms which need to be initiated to
ensure access to justice to the poor and marginalized population
of the rural and tribal communities.
Concept: Access to Justice
Law is the means and justice is the end and to achieve that end
the law must have legal system accessible to all. Access to justice
gives life and meaning to law.
“Nothing rankles more in the human heart than a brooding
sense of injustice. Illness we can put up with. But, injustice makes
us want to pull things down. When, only the rich can enjoy the law,
