DELHI DISTRICTS COURTS BACKGROUND
ANCHORING JUSTICE AT DISTRICT LEVEL

ANCHORING JUSTICE AT DISTRICT LEVEL
Background
India has one of the oldest legal system in the world. Ancient India was governed by laws
based on the Arthashastra, dating from the 400 BC, and the Manusmriti from 100 AD.
These were influential treatises in India; texts that were considered authoritative legal
guidance. Manu's central philosophy was tolerance and pluralism. The Judiciary, the Executive
and the Legislature were the same person, the King or the Ruler of the Land. But the villages
had considerable independence and had their own panchayat system to resolve disputes
among its members. Only a bigger feud merited a trans-village council. This tradition in India
continued beyond the Islamic conquest of India and through the Middle Ages. Islamic law
The Sharia was applied only to the Muslims of the country. But this tradition, along with
Islamic law, was supplanted by the common law when India became part of the British Empire.
The history of Modern Judicial System in India starts from there.
The fountain source of law in India is the Constitution. The Preamble of Constitution defines
India as a 'Sovereign Democratic Republic', containing a federal system with Parliamentary
form of Government in the Union and the States, an independent judiciary, guaranteed
Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy containing objectives which
though not enforceable in law, are fundamental to the governance of the nation.
The Constitution gives due recognition to statutes, case law and customary law consistent with
its dispensations. One of the unique features of the Indian Constitution is that,
notwithstanding the adoption of a federal system and existence of Central Acts and State Acts
in their respective spheres, it has generally provided for a single integrated system of Courts to
administer both Union and State laws. At the apex of the entire judicial system, exists the
Supreme Court of India below which are the High Courts in each State or group of States.
Below the High Courts lies a hierarchy of Subordinate Courts. Panchayat Courts also function
in some States under various names like Nyaya Panchayat, Panchayat Adalat, Gram Kachheri,
etc. to decide civil and criminal disputes of petty and local nature.
The District Courts of Delhi are the first level of Judiciary with which the public at large comes in
direct contact. The District Courts of Delhi have been able to dispose off2,72,005 cases in the
year under review, but during the same period 4,35,332 new cases were filed. This increase in
7
filing shows that faith of the people in judicial system is increasing. In disposal of cases,
priority is being given to cases where Senior Citizens are parties and cases which are pending
for more than 7 years.
By bringing out this Annual Report for the year 2008-09 we have once again tried to put across
our achievements and our strengths, the people who have made it possible to attain the
targets and the future vision which will guide us in the coming year. We have also given a
ringside view of the support services of the District Courts that have immensely contributed to
make justice available to all.

to improve, strengthen and streamline Court procedures, processes and administration.
Over the last few years, the District Courts have been transformed by an extensive and
comprehensive programme of reforms to become one of the leading judiciaries in India.
Our motto is to deliver quality and speedy justice. The complete computerization of the District
Courts is a step in this direction which has benefited the Judges, Staff, Lawyers, Litigants and
general public at large.
The District-I & Sessions Judge heads the administration of justice in the District Courts.
He appoints different committee heads and members, oversees the formulation and execution
of strategic policies and operational workplans and is directly accountable to the High Court of
Delhi. To achieve these objectives, the District-I & Sessions Judge is assisted by a core team
that includes 8 District Judge & Additional Sessions Judges, Judge Incharges of Karkardooma
Courts, Patiala House, Rohini and Dwarka Courts, Additional District & Sessions Judges, Rent
Controllers, Civil Judges and Metropolitan Magistrates etc. Day to day administration of
Karkardooma, Rohini, Patiala House & Dwarka Courts is looked after by the respective Judge
Incharges, who are District Judges & Addtional Sessions Judges. They also appoint different
Committee Heads and members to run the administration in a smooth manner in their
respective Court Complexes.
We are conscious that to become one of the best judiciaries in the world, we have to work hard
to cut down delays and backlog of the cases is to be brought down. We have to fulfill
aspirations of the public at large and meet high expectations of the framers of our
Constitution.

2.1 COMPUTERISATION OF COURTS
Knowledge Management
One of the milestones achieved during the year 2008 by the District Courts of Delhi in the
process of further strengthening the courts through computerization was the computerization
of rent deposit and rent withdrawal process. Earlier the rent, as ordered by the concerned
judge was deposited by the tenant in the treasury and it took a lot of time for the landlord to
get his amount released from the treasury due to the lengthy procedure. Now a bank account
has been opened in the State Bank of India and the rent is deposited by the tenant at the Rent
Deposit Counter which is situated in the court premises. After receiving the rent for the whole
day, the clerk deposits the same in State Bank of India. The landlord receives the money of
rent from the court through a cheque. It has surely reduced the hardship and delay in deposit
and withdrawal of rent. Same procedure is also being introduced in other Court Complexes.
2.2 DISTRICT COURTS WEB-SITE
Time to time important changes were carried out in the Website of District Courts of Delhi,
which is operational since November, 2003. Among various other links provided during the

useful information about the Committee to the users of the District Courts Website.

Holder does not come forward to contact the concerned Bailiffs to go to the spots to get
the warrants executed on the date and time fixed by Courts.
73
(b) In many cases it also happens that when Bailiffs go to the spot to get the warrants

purpose of getting the warrants executed, the J.D starts quarrelling with the Decree

arises an apprehension of breach of the peace at the spot and in this situation the Bailiff
becomes helpless and there is no remedy with him except to leave the spot and submit
the report to the Court concerned for providing police assistance to him so that the
warrant could be executed on the next visit.

decretal amount for a sum of Rs. 20,000/- recoverable from the J.D the Bailiffs goes to
the spot with the warrant to recover either the decretal amount in cash or in case of
non-payment to attach the movable or immovable property. If part payment is made
,i.e., Rupees 7,000/- to the Decree Holder who accompany the bailiff at that time, he
agrees to accept the same and seeks extension of further time to make the remaining
payment by the Judgment Debtor and then the spot is left by the Bailiff with the
consent of Decree Holder.
