He further added that a robust mechanism is required to develop the legal system based on reciprocity and the need to expand the legal system is not limited to within the court but is required outside the court also. Besides, there is also a need for comprehensive consultation with all stakeholders. This has to be gradual and in a calibrated manner, not a high inaugural activity.
