Posted by The connection between law and society needs to be understood for the good governance of a welfare society in a democratic setup. India being a democratic country owes a duty to maintain such a relationship between law and society where the law actually caters to the need of society.
This duty makes equal access to justice by the people of India an indispensable responsibility on the shoulders of all the four pillars of Indian democracy ie parliament, executive, judiciary, and press. That is why the need of promoting equal access to justice has been highlighted tremendously in the recent past. All the four pillars of the Indian democratic system have strongly advocated for ensuring equal access to justice.
Parliament has passed some guiding legislation to strengthen equal access to justice. Judiciary is also playing a proactive role bypassing many landmark judgments to clarify any ambiguity in existing provisions for effective implementation of such guiding legislation. An executive is equally supporting equal access to justice by making and implementing government schemes for it. Press in its own way contributing to promoting equal access to justice by making people aware of their rights but still, lots more needs to be done.
People still are not aware of their basic rights and enabling provisions for eliminating impediments to access to justice. In view of this, it becomes important for people to understand the legal dimensions of equal access to justice.
The course covers all important recent developments in this area. The course of Access to Justice has been specifically designed to provide an overview of India’s justice system and an in-depth knowledge about basic rights promoting equal access to justices, mode of realization of such rights, remedies for its infringements, and other related important issues.
