OBJECTIVE:

The concerned parties/litigants face considerable difficulties in
depositing money or to withdraw money which is already deposited. For
example, deposit of rent in landlord-tenant disputes, maintenance in
matrimonial proceedings etc. These procedures need to be simplified
and made litigant friendly.

The witnesses also face difficulty in receiving their expenses, diet
money or batta from the Court registry. The amount of expenses, diet
money or batta need to be more realistic. A witness should be paid
adequate amount towards expenses, diet money or batta. The legal
expenses to witnesses should be paid immediately without encountering
any hassles. This is also required to be streamlined.
