Be a part of India’s Best Alternative Dispute Resolution. Tracknext- Your shield to deal with disputes without court battles

Judiciary is one of the most powerful institutions in our country as it is a body responsible for deciding the collective destiny of over one billion people who are diverse in many respects, yet united under a democratic constitution.

However, during the six decades of its functioning it has received more brickbats than bouquets.

  1. Shortage of judges is one of the formidable challenges which the judiciary is facing for a long time now. This problem appears to have gotten so dire that there aren’t easy policy prescriptions to fix it. The reforms required to fix the problem, range from modest (increasing working days or the length of court sittings) to more complex (increasing overall efficiency and transparency).
  2. The Ministry of Law and Justice,has in fact listed the reasons for pendency and overburdening of judiciary, few of them being the increasing number of state and central legislations, vacancies of judges, number of revisions/appeals, frequent adjournments, indiscriminate use of writ jurisdiction and lack of adequate arrangement to monitor, track and bunch cases for hearing.
  3. As per the calculation of an expert, in case no new case is filed at the court, then also it would take 324 years to decide all the piled up cases!
  4. To cover a backlog of over a million cases, pending in the High Courts and Subordinate courts, the Indian judicial system inducted 1,734 Fast Track Courts, via Eleventh Finance Commission. However, in spite of the introduction of Fast Track Courts there was no apparent speeding up of judicial setup. One of the reasons for this was staff crunch, which prevented the courts from functioning in a time-bound manner. Also, it led to excessive burden on public prosecutors. There are instances when a prosecutor had two or more cases being listed at the same time but in different courts!
  5. Also, the gap between the dates of hearing extends to several years, thereby increasing the pendency of cases. Moreover, an increase in the reporting of certain crimes such as crime against women has led to a rise in the workload of the judiciary.
  6. That said, inadequate strength of the police force has also played its part in the piling up of cases before the courts. The Law Commission report said that speedy investigation by the police has not been achieved due to reasons ranging from corruption within the system to the apathetic attitude of the officers.

With all of this, the wheels of judiciary may have slowed down. Now in order to speed up the process and also to save lot of time and energy  from the resource consuming judicial system of India, the new methods of dispute resolution has been initiated like Mediation and Conciliation.
