Indian justice delivery system is complex, cumbersome and expensive
Every citizen is equal before the law. This sentence should be applied equally without exceptions. In fact, there are some cases which marginalize people who face problem to access quality legal assistance. For instance, People who live in plantation and agriculture area can not afford the best advocates to access the justice properly due to their conditions. Distance becomes their problem since the area is lack of public transportation.
