• A. 1 only
• B. 2 only
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2 only

Explanation:

• Statement 1 is incorrect: Gram Nyayalays was set up under the Gram Nyayalaya Act, 2008 for the resolution of both civil matters and criminal matters.
• Statement 2 is correct: Besides providing speedy justice which is accessible to the residents of villages, it also aims to provide cost-effective justice. One of the primary aims is also to reduce the backlog of cases in the Judiciary at the district level. A poor person loses a lot of time, energy, and money in accessing the district courts from his village. To some extent, it would fulfill the objectives underlying Article 39A of the Constitution of India.
