Access to Justice: Constitutional and Legislative Perspective in India

Abstract

The rule of law is pointless unless the general public has access to justice. One of the constitutionally recognized human and fundamental rights is access to justice. Access to justice refers to the ability to obtain justice quickly and easily through judicial proceedings. The administration of justice should be fair, transparent, effective, and responsible, and the state should take all necessary steps to ensure that everyone has access to justice. Legal assistance programmes are an important part of any strategy to improve access to justice.
