The Influential Law Firms in Maharashtra 2019

Views on the Legal System in India
Our legal system is based on British Common Law, Angloaxon,
and Adversarial System established by the then
colonial powers. A well-organized system of judicial
administration postulates a properly equipped and efficient
Bar. The establishment of the Supreme Court of India in
1950 and Bar Councils at the National and State level, gave
a new stimulus to the Indian legal profession.
In my personal opinion, to make suitable the existing justice
delivery system in the existing socio-economic
circumstances of our country, we have to simplify the laws
and procedure of justice delivery system. It should be more
victims oriented, than lawyer oriented. Though I am of the
strong opinion that dignity and decorum of the Courts
should be maintained, less importance should be given to
protocol, formalities.
The duo opines that people will respect the court and
judicial system if they get effective, efficient, speedy and
inexpensive justice. The current scenario also calls for
sensitization of lawyers for the social cause. The legal
education should be properly re-structured to equip students
with professional and advocacy skills, than only class room
and exam oriented teaching. In spite of some challenges
facing justice delivery system, we cannot forget role of the
Indian Judiciary. Though I appreciate proactive judicial
activism when required, I feel judicial overreach is
undesirable, and unconstitutional in the democracy.
E-Courts, they mention, is a step towards modernization in
the Indian legal system. Modern India with information and
communication technology surely needed this step. Ashok
says, “Now, all courts are being connected at district and
subordinate courts in the country, which will help in
coordination between courts”.
Applying ICT in the judicial and legal process will increase
efficiency, promote easy research, allow for easier
information retrieval and will help in reducing inefficiency,
inaccuracy, lack of transparency.. Technological revolution
in the justice process and system, is a milestone.
