The adversarial system that the colonial era brought in, made access to justice difficult because it ended the era of informal dispute settlement prevalent in the Indian society leaving aside the quality of justice dispensation in the indigenous mode. The pre-British system was accessible as it was not technical or formal and was conducted in a language known to parties.
