Don't you think that the Judicial system in India should be revamped for speedy Justice.?

We are still following the Legacy left behind by the British, even after 64 years of Independence.The same unwanted court vacations, the same black coats and collars for lawyers despite the British doing away with it. Why was no attempt made to revamp the Judicial system to suit our Indian needs, and for speedier Justice? What is the Ministry of Law doing in the matter? I think our Judicial system is the worst in the world even compared to underdeveloped countries. The huge backlog of cases pending disposal must be the highest in the world. Justice even for emergency matters including Violations of Fundamental rights takes years and even decades. A majority of the litigants do not live to see the justice that is meted out. Does not the saying"Justice delayed is Justice denied" sound like a joke in India. I would like your valuable suggestions and opinions in the matter. Your response will be highly appreciated.

    Yes.Our Judicial system requires revamping, not merely in the dress code,but the procedures to be modified for speedy justice.In our country population is huge and so are the number of cases filed.But, the procedure followed will be suitable only for developed countries,who have very less population and less litigation.The Constitution of India rightly made Judiciary Independent of legislature and executive and the freedom given is taken advantage by the presiding officers of the court and maximum time is taken by them,on the ground that there are too many cases to be handled, case laws should be fully explored and judgments or decrees can be of any length.Not only something is rotten in Denmark, everything is rotten in our outmoded Judicial system.Law is more or less technical and lawyers,who are privileged to work in judiciary are quite satisfied with the present system,as more time taken will get them more money from the poor client.Hence, it is not likely any reform is going to be made to make judiciary more efficient and time oriented.Anyway, as you have asked the following reforms can be made:

    1. Strict time limits to dispose of cases should be prescribed and violations will be met with cut in the salaries and promotions will be deferred and continuous inefficiency will result in the dismissal of the Officer!;

    2.Stay of cases by Appellate Court should not be granted on request and any stay given by the Judge,should be made permanent or vacated by the same judge within a Month and if the stay is made permanent,enquiry on that Stay should be started and concluded within one more month..

    3. High Courts have only one Public Prosecutor for as many as 50 Judges working.There should be one PP for each High Court Judge's Court.

    4. The same Judge who entertains a case or writ,should dispose off the same within a month and the Judgments or orders should be very brief,not exceeding ten pages and the practice of justifying the conclusion he arrived at by large number of precedents,the history of precedents,just exhibiting his or her legal knowledge- the client is interested only to know whether he gets relief or not.

    5.The District and Sessions Judge tries both criminal and Civil cases,giving preference to criminal cases.There should be seperate District Judges for civil cases and criminal cases and they should be required to do as many cases disposed by additional Judges and they should be capable of giving disposal to each case within a month. or two,visited with the same disqualifications as the subordinate Magistrates for violations of time limit.

    6. There should be a redressal forum, like an ombudsman, consisting of a retired Magistrate, an District level Officer of Government and a NGO to whom the clients can make complaints against presiding officers,as is prevailing in England.Now, the clients are treated like cattle and snobbery of Judges are unlimited and any even mild protests are resulting with the prosecution of such person for obstructing the process of Court or tried by the Contempt of Court.

    7.well, the list is endless and I close with the above,as none of an effective reform will be done to the holy cow of India,that is Judiciary, exclusively working by,for and of Advocates,who are no longer noble!

    Yes.Revamping is the need of the hour.Unnecessary procedure,lack of in depth of knowledge of provisions of the Act are some of the areas that need concentration.
