Indore – Photo: Amar Ujala, Indore Expansion When Corona started, I was a judge in the first High Court of Andhra Pradesh. When I went out to see the situation on the road, I was shocked to see an incident. There was a long queue for medicine, food and people were troubled amidst the scorching heat and humidity. I got down from my car and went to those people. Shortly after, a person fell down suffering from the heat and died there. While many officers were sitting in their cars with AC on and were watching this scene, I could not even tell them that I am a Justice. Justice Jitendra Kumar Maheshwari said this in front of the audience in the Abhyas Mandal lecture series. Maheshwari is currently a judge in the Supreme Court of India, New Delhi. Speaking on the subject of how mobility came in the judicial process, he gave a real example of his life. Through this example, he tried to explain that the dynamism of the justice process depends on the system of the court, but it will be more effective when every person in the society behaves justly with his thinking, soul and intellect. He said that today thousands of cases in the court are solved because of the mediator. In the coming times, there will be many types of experiments and arrangements will come, but we should always keep in mind that the seeker of justice is looking towards you with full faith and trust and you have to give justice to him in every situation.

FOCUS ON ARBITRATION, MEDIATION AND CONSULTATION Maheshwari said that the case load is increasing in all the courts and in the coming times more focus will be given on arbitration, mediation and counselling. He said that in foreign countries where a judge hears hundred cases in a year, in India the judge of the Supreme Court hears only in a day 233. Hears till the case. He said that technology will also play a big role in reducing the pendency of cases in future.
