Legal System in
India
The legal system in India,
despite constitutional freedom, is terribly cumbersome, expensive and
dilatory. "The Himalayan heaps" and Justice Krishna Iyer,
former Judge of the Supreme Court of India in his book "The
Integral Yoga of Public Law and Development in the Context of
India," plethora of legislation, rules, notifications,
regulations, bye-laws and the like make it baffling for the poor to
be literate about their legal rights. The period in this
prolification of law results in the erosion of rights by over-sought
or ignorant citizens India. Legal literacy ought to be condition
precedent to the rule of law, it is depressing to know that
participative law making where the poor have a say is unknown to
India."
