However, our judicial process can be prolonged and expensive at times. Consequently, a large section of society cannot benefit from a well-functioning judicial process. To achieve our goal of being a fair society by 2030, India must address this issue," said S S Mundra during his inaugural address."Climate change increases climate risk, which, in turn, requires immense sums of money for mitigations to recover the infrastructure.
