Views of Courts on the Delay in Justice

“A system of criminal procedure that failed to bring down a swift trial couldn’t be considered to be either truthful or cheap,” the Supreme Court declared in Hussainara Khatoon v. State of Bihar (AIR 1979 SC 1364). In the case of R.C. Sharma v. Union of Bharat (1976 (3) SCC 474), the Supreme Court stated that justice should not be done, but rather appear to be done and that plaintiffs should consider the judgments of the courts that have already passed. 

When the courts take an excessive amount of time to deliver judgments, this faith is shaken. In the case of Narain Singh Yadav v. The  Chief Controller of Vending, Kanpur and Ors. (1990 (1) BomCR 39), the city court held that the current judicial procedure consumes a significant amount of time and that a few cases can last up to twenty-five years, which is clearly in violation of Article twenty-one of the Indian Constitution. It had been noted that our legal system is based on the rule of law, which cannot be maintained indefinitely.

• Lack of Transparency: In the functioning of the Indian courts, there is a severe lack of transparency and accountability. The public may be concerned about the mystery surrounding the legal system.
• Appointment of judges: Judges in the Republic of India area unit are appointed as a command in three Judges’ Cases by a collegium.
• Benches distribution: The Supreme Court benches, also known as Master of Roaster, are awarded by the Chief Justice of the Republic of India. On January 12, 2018, four of the Supreme Court’s most senior judges convened a group meeting to address the issue of assignment cases inside the apex court, as well as other challenges plaguing the country’s highest court.

India has a significant backlog of cases, and little is being done to clear it and provide justice to the parties involved in a quick manner. Many cases in court are still unresolved. There are 4.7 billion big integers unfinished cases for lesser courts, with a total of 25,628 judges with significant authority. 51.5 lakh cases are currently pending in the criminal justice system.

A person thinks in court to obtain legal justice However, due to the length of our legal process, it takes longer than intended due to a scarcity of judges Another cause could be the pending cases within the court system. The court is taking fake cases. Some people arrive after they have completed their sentences. Their lawsuit, though, is still active. The code includes provisions for resolving disputes and expediting trials, such as charge joining and plea bargaining, negotiating, plan hearings, and so forth. But the issue is that the law isn’t completely clearly enforced. Ordinary people lose the majority of their cases because some judges favor one side or the other. Rape cases are rampant in India, where women are revered as gods. Day after day, the ratio continues to rise. There ought to be a way out of pursuing justice as quickly as feasible.
