The National Mission would help implementing the two major goals of the Vision Document 2009, viz: (i) increasing access by reducing delays and arrears in the system (ii) enhancing accountability at all levels through structural changes and setting performance standards and facilitating enhancement of capacities for achieving such performance standards. 2. With the objective of improving justice delivery, Thirteenth Finance Commission has recommended a grant of Rs. 5000 crore to be utilized over a period of five years up to 2010-2015. This grant is aimed at providing support to improve judicial outcomes, and is allocated for the initiatives such as (i) Increasing the number of court working hours using the existing infrastructure by holding morning / evening / shift courts; (ii) Enhancing support to Lok Adalats to reduce the pressure on regular courts; (iii) Providing additional funds to State Legal Services Authorities to enable them to enhance legal aid to the marginalized and empower

them to access justice; (iv) Promoting the Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism to

resolve part of the disputes outside the court system;(v) Enhancing capacity of judicial officers and public prosecutors through training programmes; (vi) Supporting creation or strengthening of a judicial academy in each State to facilitate such training; (vii) Creation of the post of Court Managers in every judicial district and High Courts to assist the judiciary in their administrative functions and (viii) Maintenance of heritage court buildings. 3.

In the subsequent phase, digitization, library management, e-filing and establishment of data warehouse are expected to take place. The Project output would be beneficial to both improving court process and rendering citizen centric services. Automation of case flow would cover case scrutiny, registration, court proceedings and electronic monitoring of ail court-wise case pendency and performance assessment of Judges. In terms of citizen centric services, online availability of case status, copies of orders and judgments, cause list and eventually e-filing of cases will be available. This project will also achieve one of the important goals of the Vision Document 2009, namely, the creation of National Arrears Grid, with the last mile connectivity up to Taluqa courts. The complete coverage of the 14,249 courts in terms of hardware and software will be achieved by March 2014 and the largest number of courts (12,000) will be covered by March 2012. Re-engineering of the process in the courts is the ultimate aim for speeding justice delivery and this activity is also to start this year. 4. Enactment of the Gram Nyayalayas Act, 2008 which provides for establishment of Gram Nyayalayas to improve access to justice to common man. Under the scheme, the Government provides non recurring grant for creation of infrastructure and also recurring grant on annual basis.

The central grant is released with a rider that the State Governments would contribute at least the matching share.

the Calcutta High Court at Jalpaiguri. The Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court had inspected the infrastructural facilities provided by the State Government at Jalpaiguri for establishment of the temporary Circuit Bench till the permanent building of the Circuit Bench is ready. However, in his opinion, the infrastructural facilities provided for establishment of the temporary Circuit Bench in the Jalpaiguri Zilla Parishad Dak Bungalow are neither satisfactory nor the premises suitable, even for temporary period. The space and accommodation provided is also insufficient. The Chief Minister of Kerala had sent a request in the year 2005 for setting up a bench of Kerala High Court at Thiruvananthapuram. He was advised to seek consent of the Chief Justice of the High Court as envisaged in Supreme Court Judgment in case of Federation of Bar Association in Karnataka Vs. Union of India [AIR 2000 SC 2544]. No reply has been received from the Government of Kerala.

of the Karnataka High Court at Dharwad and Gulbarga as Permanent Benches, which is under

consideration of the Government.

The Government of West Bengal had sent a proposal for establishment of a Circuit

Bench of the Calcutta High Court at Jalpaiguri. The Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court had

inspected the infrastructural facilities provided by the State Government at Jalpaiguri for

establishment of the temporary Circuit Bench till the permanent building of the Circuit Bench is

ready. However, in his opinion, the infrastructural facilities provided for establishment of the

temporary Circuit Bench in the Jalpaiguri Zilla Parishad Dak Bungalow are neither satisfactory

nor the premises suitable, even for temporary period. The space and accommodation provided is

also insufficient.

The Chief Minister of Kerala had sent a request in the year 2005 for setting up a bench
