AGARTALA: Economic and geographical factors sometimes prevent timely judicial outreach to the people , a Supreme Court judge said on Saturday. "Because of lack of economic solvency, geographical isolation and remoteness, sometimes justice might not reach out to the people timely," Justice Ranjan Gogoi said after laying the foundation stone for an administrative building of the Tripura High Court. "The bar association, along with the courts and administrative staff, have equal responsibility to settle the cases early and timely and to provide justice to the people. "Tripura also settled thousands of cases through Lok Adalats. The disposal rate of cases through Lok Adalats is very significant," he noted.Tripura High Court Chief Justice T. Vaiphei said he has directed all judges and judicial officers in Tripura to deal with witnesses in a friendly manner.
