The Legal Management: Court Administration

Kishore Vattikoti

The constitution of India was enacted in the year 1950 and became a sovereign democratic republic and since then it secures the fundamental rights of all citizens of this country, through the Preamble, which is considered to be the basic structure of the constitution. It is based on the opening words: JUSTICE, social, economic and political; LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; EQUALITY of status and of opportunity; and to promote among them all; FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation. Preamble as such is widely accepted as the quintessence or soul and spirit of a constitution, as it embodies the fundamentals and the basic of the constitution. The state has the obligation to establish and maintain the social law and order in which the legal body of the country provides justice to all the citizens of the nation. And the Access to the justice must be provided irrespective of social, economic and Political barriers which usually interrupt the Focusing on the judiciary; it is a fact to state that it has gone through various stages since the adoption of the Constitution in November, 1949. Later the Law Commission was set up to look after the Indian Judicial System. Till date, various Reports on Judicial Reforms have been submitted by the Law Commissions. But most of the important recommendations made by the Law Commissions, from time to time, have not even been properly implemented the governments which were in force till date. This view of lacking of interest in effective enforcement of the recommendations that are made by the law commission gave rise to the initiation of the Court Management, Case Management and improvement in the management of the cases in the courts of law. Efficiency needs to be achieved also from the administrative side as the delay on the administrative side adds to the arrears. Most of us think this pendency is only the responsibility of the judiciary officers and do not take interest in the administration. As you cannot afford a shallow performance in the judicial work, officers cannot avoid administrative responsibility.
