Abstract

Almost all the sectors of the economy around the world were affected due to corona virus. Those confined in prisons were not able to reach out to courts for bail, or those who wanted to file suits found the courts closed due to lockdown. It was then that the courts decided to have hearings virtually. The chapter shall discuss how much these virtual courts have been successful in rendering justice during coronavirus. The chapter shall also try to explore if the process of rendering justice through virtual mode should continue post pandemic era also. The study shall lay emphasis upon how the criminal activities increased during the COVID-19 times and how the courts have been able to render justice in such scenarios. The chapter shall analyze the alternatives one can resort to through online mediation. The plight of migrant laborers who were left to visit their homes by foot were also denied justice. Henceforth, the research shall be based on primary data as well as secondary data available.
