Book- Tareekh Pe Justice: Reforms for India’s District Courts
Author- Prashant Reddy Thikkavarapu, Chitrakshi Jain
In this episode of Lallantop’s premium bookshow, Kitabwala, we delve into Tarikh Pe Justice: Reforms for India’s District Courts, a groundbreaking book that exposes the deep-rooted dysfunction in India’s district judiciary.
In this interview the authors challenges the traditional narrative around judicial reforms, which often focuses on resources like judge numbers or funding. Instead, the authors highlight institutional barriers that create a stifling environment for district court judges, hindering their ability to deliver swift, fearless justice. The authors also points out to the higher judiciary’s role in administering these courts, pointing to issues like inaccurate judicial statistics, opaque decision-making, a flawed Rs 2,000 crore digitization project, and reckless judicial activism leading to ineffective reforms.
Offering a bold vision for change, the authors propose three transformative ideas: redesigning the constitutional framework of the judiciary, reintroducing juries to bring citizens back into courtrooms, and resisting populist demands that undermine procedural safeguards. These reforms aim to boost the efficiency of district courts and rebuild public trust in India’s justice system. Join us for an insightful discussion on how these ideas could reshape the rule of law in India. Subscribe to Lallantop for more thought-provoking literary conversations! #Kitabwala #lallantop
