Delays in India's Justice System: Causes and Impact on Case Pendency
Recent analyses highlight delays in India's justice system, illustrating causes beyond court inefficiency. The Punjab and Haryana High Court noted government delays, such as the Punjab Government taking 25 years to file a reply, and police failures in prosecution. Separately, death sentence cases often face prolonged pendency, with some Supreme Court cases lasting nearly 14 years. These delays affect timely justice delivery, reflecting systemic challenges involving government actions, legal procedures, and administrative bottlenecks.
