After this new announcement, they will now be paid a monthly Rs 10,000, which will improve their economic condition as well as boost their morale. Village courts settle small disputes at the village level and play an important role in providing justice at the local level. Village court secretaries play an important assistant in the smooth operation of these justice bodies, maintenance of records and other administrative functions.

The move is being seen as a positive initiative to empower local administration and judicial system in rural areas. In this series, the honorarium of justice friends has also been increased from Rs 6,000 to Rs 7,000, which has brought relief for all the workers associated with the region.
