ALLAHABAD: Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday said that considering the huge volume of pending legal cases, courts must make use of innovative tools such as lok adalats, gram nyayalays and fast-track courts."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," said Naidu while rooting for speedy justice at a function after inaugurating the annexe of Allahabad High Court "I am delighted to inaugurate the new building of Allahabad High Court built to mark 150 years of its existence in service of the people of India. I am happy to be here in the holy land of Prayagraj , to be able to join you at this historic juncture as the Allahabad High Court completes 150 years of dispensing justice and to inaugurate the new building of the High Court," he added.He said that cyber crime has opened up an altogether new dimension in jurisprudence.

I hope that the courts have already realized the impending danger and equipped themselves accordingly," said the Vice-President adding that "the best possible use of information technology should also be ensured to make procedures transparent".
