1924

The Civil Justice Committee may very well invite H. E. the Viceroy's attention to this fact for it is the financial strii gency of the Province that is standing in the way of the Local Government appoining an adequate number of judicial officers to cope with the current judicial work and prevening congestion and delay in the disposal of suits in the Mofussil in Bengal. [...] As the scope of the Civil Justice Committee is to suggest the grant of relief to poor litigants it will also be competent for them to draw the attention of Sir Basil Blackett the Finance Member who proposes shortly to engage in an enquiry for a more equitable readjustment of taxation that the taxation on justice in this country is perhaps the most unjust and iniquitous. [...] The principal drawbacks of the system are the following :-- (1) The peons have to travel long distances for serving processes in the interior of the district where they are not well-acquainted with the people and often do as they are told by the identifier who accompanies them on behalf of the interested party. [...] The prcesses may be sent to the Panchayet by regitered post and as he knows the village people and may avail himself of the services of the village chowkidar he may serve the processes much more satisfactorily and return the same by registered post to the Court. [...] 15 and 16 of the Belgal Tenancy Act are enacted for the benefit of the Collector and the landlord and not of the tenant though the tenant can in a suit for rent take shelter under these sections for flu ; ladies of the succeeding tenure-holder.
