2.1.3. Procedure followed by Gram Nyayalayas

Gram Nyayalayas can follow special procedures in civil matters, in a manner it deem just and reasonable in the interest of Justice. They, in the first instance, allow for conciliation of the dispute and settlement of the same. The Gram Nyayalayas are not strictly bound by the rules of evidence provided in the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 but are guided by the principles of natural justice and subject to any rule made by the High Court.
