Still we believe in British culture !!. Technology is not effectively used. Even gram Panchayat , Mandal can have The courts. Here, the judges can be revenue officer level class C level. Decorative staff is needed. All petty matters can be pushed here.

Law education should be technology driven. And 5 years or 3 years law it should be divided in 50% theory and 50% practical.

Policy makers since the delivery participants wouldn’t want to speak about their daily challenges, overburdened work is only an aspect of the problem. Good work author.
It’s time to redundant these authorities as first they told to establish these to improve legal support to needy now they said they were overburden , first they said more number of courts would diminish the case load now they said there is no adequate number of persons to man these,all after spending public funds in lakhs crores!

This article is very timely. Crores and crores of rupees have been spent on legal services authorities, but very few people, especially the needy litigants, are hardly aware of the existence of these authorities. But then, abolition of these authorities , much as we desire, is only wishful thinking. No SC Judge will permit it because to abolish them will deprive him of the golden opportunity of doing Bharat Darshan free of cost. No Executive Chairperson or HC Chief Justice will endorse such suggestion for the simple reason that such abolition will diminish the chance to interact with SC Judges to further their their early elevation to SC Judges or Chief Justice of a HC .
This is a good article.. can you also do an article on how administration has improved after technology introduction? Please include as much statistics as possible
This article is a joke, judges enjoy tax payers money but no accountability for pending cases. They get more vacation than nursery students with untold benefits. Look at their benefits, emoluments, known and unknown income yo understand whether they are burdened or not.

Article reflects a very shallow approach on the part of author while dealing with ‘legal aid system of India. Important aspects of the legal aid have been ignored and instead general and sweeping statements have been made.

It seems that the author has not considered the various reforms and the activities being done and implemented by legal services Authorities which are making appreciable impact at the grassroots.
