PM Modi Emphasizes Ease of Justice at Legal Aid Conference
Prime Minister Modi spoke at a big meeting about making it easier for everyone to get help from the law.
He said that when people can easily get justice, no matter if they are rich or poor, it makes society fairer.
He explained that making it easy to do business and live life happily depends on making justice easy to get too.
India has a long history of solving problems peacefully, like through mediation, and a new law is making this even better.
He also said that using computers and technology, like the E-Courts system, helps make the legal process faster.
Finally, he thinks it's important for people to understand laws and court decisions in their own language, so they can follow the rules better and have fewer arguments.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that accessible and timely justice is the foundation of social justice.
He linked 'Ease of Doing Business' and 'Ease of Living' to ensuring 'Ease of Justice'.
PM Modi highlighted the new Mediation Act as a modern continuation of India's tradition of mediation.
He emphasized the role of technology, citing the E-Courts project, in transforming legal access and efficiency.
