On Cupboards and Courtrooms: Infrastructural Woes of Delhi’s District Courts

The article highlights the infrastructural challenges faced by district courts in Delhi. These courts, despite their historical significance, often lack basic amenities like proper seating, space, and signage. The author takes the example of the Saket District Court to demonstrate how courts can be made accessible and argues that improving the infrastructure of district courts can significantly enhance the judicial process and ensure equal access to justice for all.
