What our villages need BIGSTOCKOur village courts need to be reformed top to bottomThe government is trying to strengthen the local justice systems in rural areas by establishing close-to-home, low-cost village courts that adjudicated minor disputes between residents. The “village court” is also known as the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) court. In addition to the UNO, a chief judicial magistrate should be involved in the monitoring of the village courts. Moreover, if the UNO is monitoring the village courts every month regularly in the UP office as his routine work, the village court members and officials will be careful and more responsible about their activity. That way, eventually, the government can take certain steps to create mass awareness about exactly all that is wrong within our village court system.
