ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF LAW AND JUSTICE; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS (SHRI ARJUN RAM MEGHWAL) (a): The State/UT-wise and location-wise details of notified, established and functional Gram Nyayalayas are at Annexure-I and Annexure-II respectively. (b) to (e): No Gram Nyayalaya is notified and operational in the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. As per the Gram Nyayalayas Act, 2008, the State Government, after consultation with the High Court, may, by notification, establish one or more Gram Nyayalayas for every Panchayat at intermediate level or a group of contiguous Panchayats at intermediate level in a district or where there is no Panchayat at intermediate level in any State, for a group of contiguous Gram Panchayats. The Act, therefore, does not make setting up of Gram Nyayalayas mandatory. However, the Department of Justice has been encouraging the States/ UTs for establishment of Gram Nyayalayas. The Gram Nyayalayas Act, 2008 was enacted for the establishment of Gram Nyayalayas at the grass root level for the purposes of providing access to justice to the citizens at their 1doorsteps and to ensure that opportunities for securing justice are not denied to any citizen by reason of social, economic or other disabilities and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. In order to meet these objectives, the Act has several provisions for speedy trial and disposal of cases such as holding of mobile courts by the Nyayadhikaris, summary trial for criminal cases, plea bargaining, efforts for conciliation and settlement in civil cases, legal aid to the accused etc. The State Government and the respective High Courts are empowered to make rules for carrying out the provisions of the Gram Nyayalayas Act. Further, the State Government, in consultation with the High Court, appoints Nyayadhikaris for Gram Nyayalayas. 2Annexure-I STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (A) OF THE LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 3297 FOR ANSWER ON 08.8.2025 Sl.
