"The district-level courts determine the image of the judiciary in the minds of crores of citizens. Therefore, providing justice to the people through the district courts with sensitivity and promptness and at a low cost is the basis of the success of our judiciary," she said. The President highlighted that in recent years there have been significant improvements in the availability of infrastructure, facilities, training and human resources of the judiciary at the district level but a "lot remains to be done in all these areas".
She said that pendency and backlog of cases is a big challenge before the judiciary and cases remain pending for as long as over 32 years. President Murmu emphasised that programmes such as special Lok Adalat week should be organised more frequently to tackle the pendency of cases. She suggested making arrangements to provide justice in the local language and local conditions to achieve the ideal of taking justice to everyone's doorstep. ‘District-Level Courts Determine Image of Judiciary in Minds of Crores of Citizens’, Says President Droupadi Murmu at National Conference of District Judiciary.
