New Delhi, April 11 Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said on Saturday that "making laws easy to understand" is essential for ensuring ease of justice, ease of living, and ease of doing business.
Addressing a conference on 'Re-engineering the Judicial Process and Digital Transformation' here, the minister also highlighted the need for timely use of funds allocated for various projects, including the digitization of the judicial ecosystem.
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant was also present at the event.
People should be able to understand laws, legal documents, and court orders in order to achieve the principles of ease of living, ease of doing business, and ease of justice, Meghwal told the gathering.
Clarity in laws, legal documents, and court judgements will lead to their smoother implementation, he said.
The minister emphasized the need for timely use of funds allocated for various projects, including the digitization of the judicial ecosystem.
Meghwal said that the Indian e-Courts system might be "slow" in making progress, but it should not discourage stakeholders. He asserted that it is being expedited.
Phase III of the ambitious e-Courts project, which aims to digitize court documents and upgrade the digitization of the lower judiciary, is currently underway.
Building on the gains of Phase-I and Phase-II, e-Courts Phase-III aims to establish a regime of maximum ease of justice by moving towards digital, online, and paperless courts through the digitization of all court records.
