During a conference in Dehradun, Chief Justice of India Surya Kant emphasized that the biggest challenge in India's legal system is not the lack of laws but the limited access that citizens have to justice. He noted that despite a strong legal framework, many citizens face barriers due to distance, delays, and implementation issues. The Chief Justice pointed out that regions like Uttarakhand, with its rugged terrain, require tailored judicial solutions to ensure timely access to justice. He shared insights from his experiences across various states, highlighting that citizens often struggle not because of a lack of rights but due to inadequate platforms for claiming them. Kant advocated for the promotion of Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms, such as mediation and Lok Adalats, to facilitate quicker and more cost-effective dispute resolution. He praised the Uttarakhand State Legal Services Authority's 'Nyay Mitra' portal as a crucial step in making justice more accessible in challenging geographical areas.
