When e-court start functioning

Welcome for the first e-court of Kerala to start functioning at Kochi. The fully computerized lower courts coming under the District Court will enhance speedy disposal of the cases, it is presumed.

Nevertheless, one the major handicaps of our judicial system is its huge delay in settling the cases. The famous adage ‘justice delayed is justice denied’ is amplified by our judicial forums. When judicial officers complain that they are troubled with heavy load, the counsels make it an opportunity to tax more from clients. When cases go indefinitely it is the counsels that earn money. Still, a junior practicing advocates did not even get a sum of Rs 1000 per month for their work if their seniors are not caring that much.

Let our government and judicial forums evolve more new systems for speedy disposal of cases in courts and thereby to regain people’s faith in them.
