| Virtual court hearings will ease people's issues in Ladakh: Raman Suri | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 7: "The scale of development and e-governance in India could be well-gauged from the fact that people of the Union Territory of Ladakh got virtual hearing for their court cases in the Jammu and Kashmir High Court. The move will not only enable people and lawyers save time but also save them from botheration as well as spending money that thay had to incur on travelling and stay in Jammu or Srinagar for appearing in the court cases".
This was stated by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) J&K Executive Member Raman Suri, who added that the Union government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is laying special emphasis on Jammu and Kashmir and ensuring that even the smallest of issues concerning people are addressed. He added, Prime Minister is aware of every problem being faced by the people of cold desert, which is why such an able administrative reform has come forward wherein people and their lawyers will now be appearing for virtual hearing before courts to plead their cases from Ladakh itself.
Raman Suri said, the acting Chief Justice Tashi Rabstan, who hails from Ladakh rolled out the first initiative by hearing cases from Ladakh virtually. This all could become possible because of the high speed internet available in the UT, facilities available in courts and telecom infrastructure that's connecting Ladakh with rest of the world. In the very initial stage, six matters listed before the bench were heard through virtual proceedings, which is the beginning of a new era in Ladakh.
Now that this is going to be a regular matter, people and their lawyers will be getting justice delivered at their doorsteps, said Raman Suri, adding that the sufferings of the litigants and the lawyers will be eased out. This will ease lawyers and their clients from the burden of travelling to far-off distances to personally appear before the judges.
The opposition parties who are vocal about development must see these changes happening in India, especially in Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir, which were way behind since ages. The BJP leader said, people were made to wait for seventy years for such facilities that are coming their way now. It was because of BJP that Ladakh region first got Divisional status and then, the Union Territory status, a demand which people always projected before the Congress regimes but never got it. Today also, the Union government is in constant touch with the leadership of Ladakh to resolve their other issues. |
