Introduction

We are aware of the tons of pending cases and the statistics say that on an average there is One
Judge for 73000 people in India and over 20 crore matters are still pending. But it is also very
pertinent to know that under the leadership of our Honorable Prime Minister, Shri Narendrabhai
Modi, 84000 cases were discoursed in the year of 2017.

May I please hear a huge round of applause for our Narendra Modi?

Yah Esha Supteshu Jagriti – That person who is awake in those that sleep, is the person who is
desirous of a change. And, I believe, that I am that person. Good Afternoon, I Devanshi Jain from
Karnavati University is very pleased to share the platform with the dignitaries on and off the dais and
I whole heartedly extend my gratitude to one and all present here!

The judiciary is meant to guarantee the protection to the citizens at every instinct, whereas in
practice, the Judicial System is like that Rabbit in the story The Rabbit and The Turtle. Although it has
time bound references to dispose the cases in a specific time, they are being delayed.

Being a law student, I am convinced that the monitoring is hugely required against the bulk of the
pendency of the cases.

But when we have problems like multiple appeals reiterating the questions of law and judgement
the admission of an appeal should only allow the matters those reflecting the questions of law.

The matters that affect question of judgements should be confirmed at the initial screening only and
disposed off immediately.

The law specifies about the Principle of Stare – decisis where, it dictates it is best to adhere to the
decisions, that have already been made and not to disturb the questions which have been put to
rest.

Also, one of the reasons behind multiple appeals is the mere dissatisfaction of the Appellant who out
of human behaviour keeps on questioning the legal proceedings. In cases where civil, corporate
and/or criminal proceedings are not, what the matter is brought to the court,

but is mainly due to human tendencies like – jealousy, hatredness, ego clashes,

mediation and/or arbitration should be suggested or opted.

Moreover, I would like to take this stage as the opportunity to question my seniors in profession –
why do we file condonation in the name of hearings and delay the process for all the stakeholders?
It was also brought to the notice that the reasons behind such dismissal before appropriate judicial
proceedings are – failed processing requirements: from the peoples’ side, statute of limitations from
the law’s side and politics that is prevalent at the several Bar Associations from the lawyer’s side.

Not to forget, lack of infrastructure is an obvious drawback, but we as responsible citizens have real
problems to deal with –

Despite lack of infrastructure have we peeped into Reservations?

Have we looked into the problem of Vacancies across the Judiciary systems?

And, have we questioned the impotency to deliver the judgements on timely basis?

Well, here I am not counting on the bribery which is existential and may be perpetual but… is…
only… in… the… speeches… of… the… politicians.

Why, is it only in the speeches of the politicians?

Despite criticising the government or our lawyers, do we have the mirror with us? Although every
palpable thing that government is inefficient at, are we responsible enough for making to the courts
as Evidences?

Ain’t we lacking at supporting our own people?

Why are we minding our own businesses so adamantly?

Let me also remind you about the backlogging of the cases. Only those cases are read and delivered
judgements of which, our Honorable Judges make a note of. The rest are adjourned and never
looked at. This, not only backlogs but also creates a time gap and ultimately is reflected in the
inefficiency.

Which indeed is a vicious cycle and an ultimate paradox.

I am not accounting the frequent transfers of the government officials that happen on year to year
basis.

Here, I also do not question the law or the people. But I fathom, this is the reason that delays the
process.

Inspite having existing legal mechanisms, is the government formulating the new ones or
formulating nuance? Can the government have a broader perspective to the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan
in collaboration with the Judicial System?

Or ant me, jaate jaate, apne rashtray k liye ek goonj ho jaaye – Bharat Mata ki Jay!
