Pendency of litigation in India

It is a part of right to life and personal liberty, a fundamental right of every citizen under Article 21, to get speedy justice and speedy trial, which also is the fundamental requirement of good judicial administration. In the courts, arrears are growing to horrifying extent. This is particularly because institution of cases is much more than their disposal at all the levels of courts. Delay in disposal of cases in law courts, has defeated the purpose of resolution of disputes, for which the people come up to the courts. So, there is need to find out mechanisms to render social justice to the poor and needy who want their grievances redressed through law courts.
