Karnataka has ranked as number one in the list of states and Union Territories in granting access to justice and three other southern states figured among the best five, according to the India Justice Report 2022.
The IJR was initiated by Tata Trusts in 2019, and this is the third edition.
India Justice Report (IJR), an initiative of the Tata Trusts launched in 2019, ranked states and UTs on various parameters like vacancies in the judiciary, budgetary allocations, infrastructure, human resources, legal aid, condition of prisons, functioning of police and state human rights commissions.
Karnataka topped the chart among 18 large and mid-size states having a population of over one crore each.
It was followed by Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh.
The report said Karnataka remained the only state to have consistently met its quota for SC, ST and OBC positions, both among police officers and the constabulary.
The list of seven small states, having a population of less than one crore each, was headed by Sikkim, followed by Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura.
