Gram Nyayalayas are mobile village courts in India established under the Gram Nyayalayas Act, 2008 for speedy and easy access to the justice system in the rural areas of India. They are aimed at providing inexpensive justice to people in rural areas at their doorsteps. The Act came into force on October 2, 2009 i.e. the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. (Gram stands for the village; Nyay stands for Justice and Aalya stands for House/center etc)Gram Nyayalaya is a mobile court and exercises the powers of both Criminal and Civil Courts; i.e., the seat of the Gram Nyayalayawill be located at the headquarters of the intermediate Panchayat, but they will go to villages, work there and dispose of the cases.
