Union Law Ministry Rolls Out National Litigation Policy to Expedite Justice

The Union Law Ministry has finalized a national litigation policy aiming to fast-track pending cases. Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal signed the document soon after taking office. The policy, part of the Modi 3.0 government's 100-day agenda, will be presented to the Union Cabinet for approval.

In a significant move to address the backlog of pending cases, the Union Law Ministry finalized a national litigation policy on Tuesday. Shortly after assuming his new role, Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal signed the document, marking a key initiative for the Modi 3.0 government's 100-day agenda.

The policy aims to expedite resolution in the Supreme Court, high courts, lower courts, tribunals, and consumer courts, noted Minister Meghwal. The policy document is set to be reviewed by the Union Cabinet soon.

The national litigation policy, after years of deliberation and multiple drafts, seeks to ensure faster justice and reduce the average pendency time of cases, aligning with earlier attempts under UPA II. Meghwal emphasized its role in creating 'ease of living' for all stakeholders involved in litigation.
