The following are some reasons by which judgments in the Indian judicial system look for unreasonable amount of time: A few of the key causes are:
1. Case Backlog:
-Pendency of Cases: The major issue is that a large number cases are heard in many courts, and therefore disposal of judgments is a slow process.
-Increasing Caseload: This is so due to the fact that the population of people is on the increase everyday, and problems of law also are on the increase.
2. Resource Constraints:
-Judges Shortage: This means that the relatively few judges deployed in subsidiary and superior courts slow the discharging of cases and delivery of judgment.
-Infrastructure Shortages: Poor infrastructure like the courthouses, and/or administrative building and so on, can frustrate the functionality of courts
-3. Procedural Complications:
-Procedural Lengthy Process of Law: This is elongated by complication of laws and other subsequent appeals in different tiers of the courts system.
-Technical Problems and Delay: Technical arguments and points of procedure are often postponed and they form good causes of nuisance and stalling.
4. Other Factors:
-Lack of Proper Legal Counselling: Unfortunately many a poor especially from the most backward sections cannot engage an advocate and this results in either adjournment of the hearing or poor counseling.
-Corruption and Inefficient Judiciary: Delaying factors are likely to be aggravated when corruption and an ineffective judicial system are added to the concoction.
These specific overall factors are therefore part of the reason why justice is done gradually. The time has come to renew and rejuvenate the system in order to improve reliability, organization of procedures, add more resources, and increase the efficiency of the judicial system.
