As one of the pillars of governance, the judiciary has played an important role in our democracy. From the guidance of village elders to modern courts, fair and timely justice delivery is a value that our society has always held as sacred, the PM's message read.

One of the most important aspects of justice delivery mechanisms is to take justice to the people in a way that there is 'ease of justice' for even the poorest of the poor. Many commendable steps have been taken in this regard in the past few years. For example, our judiciary has taken the initiative of translating thousands of judgments into various Indian languages, he mentions.

Further, whether it is electronic summons service, virtual hearings or video conferencing, technology has made everything easier. We will add more momentum to this mission in the coming years, it read. "I am confident that such conferences will bring together the finest minds of our judiciary, legal fraternity and all other stakeholders to make our justice delivery system even more people-centric," it added.
