What has to be done by you and me is to spread the message that relief measures during such calamities must include legal measures and Legal service Mechanism should be made a part of Disaster Management . This will raise the esteem of Judiciary in the eyes of general public , especially the grass root people.
The grass root Judiciary will have another face to be presented before general public and in this way the image of grass root Judiciary can be strengthened-
But then additional hands and resources must be provided and a Disaster Management Wing in the Judiciary capable and willing to help the general public has to be raised under the authority of suitable law.
During such period Local Bar and its members may be authorised under suitable legal provisions for making civil investigations, recommending declaratory decrees /certificates / compensation awards to be confirmed by regular court after verifying and checking the documents and hearing summarily such parties as the court deems fit and proper and which can be summarily annulled if fraud is detected and for such role of the bar certain sum can be allocated at the disposable of Bar to be used for the purpose. More can be conceived as a role for legal and judicial fraternity in such urgencies.
The Judicial officers should be trained in a way that they can respond suitably as Legal Volunteers in such situation. Law school curriculum should have special focus on mass legal services in extra ordinary situation
