About the forthcoming work
The project is dedicated to the cause of justice delivery to the masses in the country.
Delivery of timely and affordable justice is essential for economic growth and social welfare. The citizens’ right to social goods & services, and opportunities, to become a reality, needs efficient and timely justice delivery. Similarly, without an efficient justice system, economic growth cannot come about.
Targeted at a wide range of audience, ranging from the common man to the jurist, the project endeavours to find ways and means to prevent the inefficiencies, as also the delays, that have become part of our system.
Preventing Road Accident Deaths
Research work titled “Road Accidents – Prevention, Attention and Compensation” was released on 8.12.2014 by Justice T.S. Thakur, Judge, Supreme Court of India in the presence of Justice Dalveer Bhandari, Judge, International Court of Justice.
We have 1,40,000 fatal accidents every year and 5,00,000 injures. For every million passenger kilometers travelled or vehicles owned, we in India have 10 (TEN) times more fatalities than in developed countries.
Prepared after a ground level survey by a Senior Advocate, it goes into a wide range of topics relating to Road Safety. The author has shown the way how such and better levels of safety minimize accidents.
Topic 6 deals with Accidents and injury – some fundamentals and espouses, in connection with road safety, the philosophy of prevention being better than cure. Topic 9 goes on to point out the importance of attending to the injured in the most critical Golden Hour wherein lives are saved or lost.

It is something unique, in fact marvelous, that can help save thousands of lives till we have sufficient ambulances.
Topic 12 has suggested a new form of Mediation for compensation cases. A traffic court system with emphasis on automation and computerization has been put forward in Topic 18.
Some steps have also been proposed that we can take, in fact we ought to take, in the immediate future because a complete reform will take time. In the meantime, we cannot allow accidents and deaths to mount. Details of the work can be accessed at www.jcd-am.in
