Gram Nyayalayas are local courts established in rural areas to provide justice at the grassroots level. They are designed to resolve minor civil and criminal disputes quickly and in a cost-effective manner, making legal redress accessible to people in remote regions.
In simple language, Gram Nyayalayas bring the justice system closer to the people. Recent reports have shown that these courts have successfully reduced the case backlog in rural areas, providing timely resolution of disputes and ensuring that justice is not delayed by distance or resource constraints.
This initiative is a key part of the government’s efforts to enhance legal access and ensure that all citizens receive fair treatment under the law.
