Jodhpur, April 02: Criticising the “inordinate delay and exorbitant cost” of getting Justice, Supreme Court Judge G S Singhvi today said that judiciary has to go to the common man and villagers to restore the faith in the system.
While admitting that this common man is normally averse to approach courts, he said it is unfortunate that our system is miserably plagued by an inordinate delay and exorbitant cost.
Singhvi was addressing judicial fraternity here as a chief guest of the inaugural session of two days’ national seminar on “Access to Justice for the Socially and Economically Disadvantaged”.
Citing the lack of knowledge in common man in accessing the judicial system, Singhvi called upon the lawyers that they should go to the common man specially the villagers atleast once in a month and make them aware of their legal rights for the redressal of their grievances.
