He believes that the current court system is insufficient to address these claims due to technicalities and moral considerations. The Chief recommends the establishment of an Indian Claims Commission to settle claims based on moral considerations, rather than just legal and equitable grounds. He outlines the need for a fair and flexible process to address these claims and highlights specific claims that remain unresolved.
