7. LEGAL SYSTEM OF INDIA
 Here are some problems related to justice system of India.
“True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice”
Justice is a concept Involving the fair, moral, and impartial treatment of all persons.
What is the situation in India today? The system is on the verge of collapse with more
than 30 million cases clogging the system. It will take more than 300 years..!! to clear
the backlog of cases in Indian courts is proof enough that our justice system is sick,
stagnant and in urgent need of a complete overhaul.

3. PROPOSED SOLUTION
An anti corruption commission should be set up which
will be independent from government and having
complete control on whole justice system to carry out
investigation of corruption cases taken placed in any level
and should have right to prove convicts in such cases.
 COURT FOR PENDING CASES
 JUDICIAL SURVEY BOARD  ADDITION OF LAWS AND NEW BILLS
 ANTICORRUPTION COMMISSION
It is advisable to form a national level government
authorized survey commission which will carry
out judicial surveys to straighten out effective
steps and innovations.
Courts should be established at different levels to
dispose huge number of pending cases (pending period >
7 yrs.) with an inclusion of “shift system” utilizing current
infrastructure.
Certain changes should be made related to laws
concerning working hours of courts and also new bills
should be passed enhancing access of a common man
towards justice system.

4.  MECHANISMS OF INFORMATION
 ROLE OF THIRD PARTIES
 ALTERNATIVES OF COURT
 INITIATIVES BY IT DEPARTMENT
As the court comes to a final conclusion on 1 case, in
between this period, more than 5-6 cases are brought in.
Many questions arise here, one of them is, “Why is our
judicial system so overburdened?” And the answer to it is
that, “The third party are not playing their role efficiently”.
If you have a dispute with someone, going to court to
resolve it can be an expensive, time-consuming and
stressful process. And in some cases,it can result in an
unsatisfactory experience. There are other ways of
dealing with many disputes
It is both in the interests of the Judiciary and in the public
interest that the public gets to know and understand what
is going on the Judiciary in relation to its mandate, so
proper mechanisms should be designed to spread
awareness in public and making them easily accessible to
judiciary systems in the most proficient way.
IT department of governance should be made proficient
enough to utilize new techniques in court system to enhance
communication and data sharing in internal structure. New
mechanisms should also be developed to reduce time span
for investigation and administrative work.
