THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, OCT. 20. The Revenue Minister, K. M. Mani, today said that courts in the State should adopt modern technology to speed up the disposal of cases. Mr. Mani was speaking at a meeting organised here, to commemorate the third death anniversary of former MLA, George Mascrene. Instead of bringing an undertrial prisoner all the way from jail to the court, video-conferencing can be done to question the prisoner. This and other similar technology-aided techniques will help the judiciary dispense justice in a much more efficient and speedier manner, he said.
`Delayed justice'
The delay in appointing judges in existing vacancies in the High Court is yet another reason for delayed justice. At present there are eight vacancies. Only four have been filled. As it is, Kerala has fewer judges than what are really required. If vacancies are not filled in time, the backlog of cases will only mount, he added. The Chief Minister, Oommen Chandy, gave away this year's George Mascrene memorial award for the best young advocate to Koshy P. Thomas, a city-based advocate. The Transport Minister, N. Sakthan, was also present at the meeting.
