President Droupadi Murmu said on Sunday that the pendency and backlog of cases is a "big challenge" before the judiciary, further highlighting the need to bring a change to theserious cases remaining pending in the courts.
Highlighting the need to organize 'Lok Adalat' more frequently, President Murmu said that this will help in tackling the pendency of cases.
The President was addressing the valedictory session of the two-day National Conference of District Judiciary, organised by the Supreme Court of India, on Sunday.
She further highlighted the need to bring justice to everyone's doorstep.
"The President said that our Constitution provides for the power and responsibilities of the Legislative and Executive bodies at the local level through Panchayats and Municipalities. She asked if we could think of a justice system at the local level equivalent to these. She stated that making arrangements to provide justice in the local language and local conditions can help in achieving the ideal of taking justice to everyone's doorstep," the President's secretariat stated in a release, citing President Murmu.
