Concept Explanation
 

Subordinate Court

Subordinate Court: The states are divided into districts. Each of the districts has a district court. The district court and the courts below it are called subordinate courts. Subordinate courts under it are the court of the civil judge and the court of the munsif. The court of the session’s judge is the highest court in the district dealing with criminal cases. And the subordinate courts under it are the courts of the chief judicial magistrate, the first class judicial magistrates, and the second- class judicial magistrates. The Unified Indian Judiciary:- If a citizen is dissatisfied with the judgment given in any lower court, he or she can appeal to a higher court. If a fundamental right is violated, the citizen can either appeal to the High Court or to the Supreme Court. And the courts can issue writs to safeguard and enforce the fundamental rights.

Lok Adalats for Speedy Justice: The number of Judges were highly inadequate to deal with the large number of cases that were being registered each day. As a result, there was a heavy backlog of cases in all the courts. In an effort to speed up the process of settling cases, Lok Adalats were established by an act of Parliament. Lok Adalats means ‘people’s court’. The first Lok Adalat was held in Delhi in 1985. Lok Adalats, which offered free legal aid, ensured that justice was not denied to the poor for economic reasons.
