ADVERTISEMENTS:
It would create greater awareness about the judicial system among the rural masses, cut costs for them and render justice at their doorstep. These courts should see to that hearings are not unnecessarily postponed.
The mobile court is equipped to receive plaints, civil and criminal applications, grant bail and remand accused to custody, issue summons, receive police reports, record evidence, pronounce and execute decrees and judgments, pass sentences and commit convicts to prison. It also delivers certified copies of its orders, and judgments.
Thus, it performs all the functions. If the system is followed strictly it would ease the burden on the higher courts, reduce the number of appeals and bring about transparency. Steps should be taken for setting up more mobile courts across the country.
