Village Samithis

Village Samithis have been mooted to provide settlement solutions to the rural areas by Justice Kurian Joseph on behalf of Kerala Legal Service Authority. This would be in addition to the proposed Grama Nyayalayas to be setup by the state government at the lowest level. The Samithis would be consisting of a judicial officer sitting as an Adalat who will hear cases affecting the villages to be settled accordingly. The proposal is a welcome step to the villages which have been largely confined to their local limits foreign to justice delivery mechanisms including Courts. The rural people will find it more approachable and less strenuous once they are established in the local areas wherein they reside.
