Judiciary has a crucial role in deepening our democratic roots: Naidu
Allahabad, Oct 13 (IANS) Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday stressed that judiciary has a crucial role to play in deepening our democratic roots and it could do so by ensuring speedy justice.
“Judiciary has a crucial role to play in deepening our democratic roots. It can do so by ensuring speedy justice, even-handed justice and justice that is perceived to be entirely fair. Justice delayed is, as they say, justice denied,” Naidu said while addressing the gathering after inaugurating the new building for Allahabad High Court here.
Referring to over 3.35 lakh cases pending in last 10 years in the Allhabad High Court, he said, “I am happy to learn that in order to reduce pressure on courts and to reduce pendency, the court has encouraged mediation process and pre-litigation Lok Adalats.
“Results have been encouraging. Lok Adalats in 2016-17 alone could settle around 11 lakh cases involving around Rs 400 crore. Similarly 7,500 cases were settled through mediation,” he said.
He suggested the High Court should also make use of Gram Nyayalay scheme for rural areas as it would relieve farmers and villages of hardship and exorbitant cost of litigation.
Emphasising the use of the local language, the Vice President said, “I firmly believe that the language used in courts should be understood by the petitioners who are seeking justice.”
“The entire process should be in the state language so that the petitioners have the confidence that they will get a fair hearing and treatment,” he said, adding that the Article 348 (2) of the Constitution provides for usage of official language of a state in the court.
“If you so decide, you must consider digitization in the Official language of the state for the benefit of litigants,” Naidu said.
The Vice President told the judges and members of the Bar Association that while our Constitution envisages independence of judiciary from the Executive, the Legislature and Judiciary should share healthy mutual respect and should complement each other.
He reminded the judges and members of the Bar Association of the crucial historical milestones witnessed by the Allahabad High Court, like the trial of the Chauri Chaura case, the Meerut Conspiracy case and the INA trials.
The Vice President expressed his deep concern at the existence of a large number of unfilled vacancies in the judicial system and expressed hope that the efforts being made by the government to bridge the gap in human resources would bear fruits soon.
The Vice President also spoke about the rise in the number of cyber-crimes which have opened up a new dimension in jurisprudence.
He also spoke about the need to implement Anti-Defection law, with sincerity and also fast-track disposal of election petitions.

International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
