The document discusses issues related to delays in the Indian justice system and proposes solutions. It notes that the backlog of cases is over 72 million due to a low judge-to-population ratio and inefficient processes. Common case types that contribute to backlogs include matrimonial, motor accident, petty cases, and corruption cases. Delays stem from administrative errors, understaffed courts, lack of technology and coordination between judicial and law enforcement agencies. Solutions proposed include grouping similar cases, implementing case management systems, increasing use of technology, training police, and increasing accessibility of the system. The judiciary needs to set an example by punishing influential offenders to ensure equal justice for all citizens.

There are over 43 million pending cases in India's legal system, leading to long delays in justice. This undermines public faith in the judiciary. Key issues contributing to delays include shortages of judges and lawyers unwilling to become judges. Proposed solutions include appointing more judges in a timely manner, modernizing court processes through technology like e-filing and video conferencing, and promoting alternative dispute resolution methods. Implementing these changes could help reduce pendency, expedite justice delivery, and restore confidence in India's legal system. Challenges to addressing delays include ensuring public adoption of new technologies and maintaining data security.
парламент
This document summarizes the key aspects of a parliamentary system of government, including that it requires multiple political parties, a parliament that is dependent on the will of the population and holds constitutional authority, a head of government like a prime minister who is selected by and can be removed by a no-confidence vote of the parliament, and early elections may be triggered if the government loses a no-confidence vote.
ARRMS
1. The document proposes reforms to improve the efficiency of India's judicial system, which faces large case backlogs and delays in justice.
2. It suggests categorizing courts by crime types to better distribute caseloads, increasing court working hours on evenings and weekends, computerizing records, and establishing strict evidence tracking systems.
3. However, challenges include obtaining funding, convincing lawyers to accept longer hours, and the risk of unreformed corrupt judges undermining reforms. Overall the proposals aim to clear backlogs and expedite justice through targeted organizational changes within the judiciary.
Ehsan Kabir Solicitor - Family Divisional Court System
The document outlines the family divisional court system in England and Wales. It begins with key terms and then describes the courts of first instance which include the county court and high court. It details the jurisdictions of the magistrates' court, county court for small, fast and multi-track claims, and the three divisions of the high court - Queen's Bench, Family and Chancery. The document then explains the appeal process from these lower courts to the court of appeal and supreme court. It provides information on when leave to appeal is required and the roles of each appellate court.

The document discusses issues related to criminal charges against MPs in India. It notes that 162 MPs elected to the 15th Lok Sabha faced criminal charges, with 76 facing serious charges. It also notes a large increase in the assets of re-elected MPs from 2004 to 2009. The introduction of electronic voting machines was seen as a reform, but the process remains slow as MPs have incentives to delay reforms that could impact criminal benefactors. While recent Supreme Court rulings barred convicted candidates from running, there are concerns this could be misused and concerns about instability in the legal system from overruling past judgements. Possible solutions discussed include putting a stay on convictions.

This document discusses issues related to delays in the Indian justice system and proposes solutions. It notes that India has far fewer judges per capita than other developing nations. The main causes of delays outlined are lack of government funding and resources for the judiciary, outdated laws, corruption, and vacant judgeship positions. Short term solutions proposed include increasing courts and judges, law schools, and setting time limits on case types. Long term solutions focus on making the CBI independent, increasing transparency, and establishing a "cyclic system of checks and balances" to reduce corruption in the judiciary.
5-fantastic-freaks
- The pendency of cases has been increasing over the years, with 71% of delays due to unpaid fees/unserved notices rather than judges taking too long. Over 3 crore cases are pending across India.
- Lok adalats can help reduce the backlog by resolving compoundable offenses before trial, and assigning pro bono cases to law students gives experience while helping reduce delays from unpaid legal fees.
- Reforming procedures like giving adequate time between hearings and strictly limiting hearings to two dates per case can increase efficiency of the legal system.

Failure of Judiciary and Dirty Politics of Pakistan
The judiciary of Pakistan has failed according to several metrics. It ranks 120th out of 128 judiciaries globally in terms of independence, corruption, and delays. There are over 2.18 million pending cases in Pakistan's courts, with some cases taking years to resolve. The judiciary lacks independence as the government and powerful interests regularly interfere. Corruption among judges, lawyers, and staff further undermine the system. There is also a shortage of judges, with around 4,000 handling millions of cases. Pakistani politics is also criticized for issues like fake promises, corruption, attacks on opponents, nepotism, and incompetence that have undermined governance.

The document discusses the issue of delays in the Indian justice system. It notes that justice delayed is justice denied and provides statistics showing the massive backlog of cases, with some estimates indicating it would take hundreds of years to clear at the current rate. Some of the main reasons provided for delays are huge vacancies in judicial positions, a slow case disposal rate, and lack of proper monitoring. Recommendations to address the backlog include increasing the number of judges, imposing accountability, minimizing adjournments, and establishing an independent monitoring agency to oversee the system.
Background note panel_discussion_sept_08
This document discusses 3 major problems with the system of judicial appointments and accountability in India based on recent scandals involving judges:
1. The opaque and arbitrary appointment system allows people with dubious backgrounds to become judges.
2. The 1991 Veeraswami judgment hampers criminal investigations of judges by requiring the chief justice's permission.
3. The impeachment process is ineffective and the in-house complaint procedure proposed in the Judges Inquiry Bill has flaws. It argues that an independent judicial commission is needed to address these issues and enforce accountability.
Changes in Thailand’s Appeal System for Civil Cases (Saran Kleesuwan)
Thailand has changed its civil case appeal system from a rights-based to a permission-based system. Previously, parties had the right to appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. However, this led to heavy caseloads and delays of over 5 years for final judgments. Under the new law, appeal court decisions are final unless the Supreme Court grants permission to appeal. The Supreme Court will only hear cases that present significant legal questions or are in the public interest, aiming to streamline the process and provide swifter access to justice.

There are increasing numbers of cases in India's tribunals, but questions remain about the qualifications of their members and ability to quickly resolve disputes. Tribunals were created to expedite justice, but they often fail to promptly dispose of cases. Several issues are identified that contribute to delays and denial of justice, including a lack of legal qualifications among some members, bias, lack of accountability, and government agencies prolonging cases. Reforms are needed to ensure fair and timely resolution of tribunal cases, such as stricter timelines for decisions, oversight of tribunal judgments, and an independent recruitment process.

Voting systems in elections
This document discusses different voting systems used in elections, including first-past-the-post, supplementary vote, additional vote, and single transferable vote systems. First-past-the-post is used for UK House of Commons elections, where voters select one candidate and the candidate with the most votes wins. Proportional representation systems aim to allocate seats proportionally based on votes. The supplementary vote and additional vote systems allow voters to rank candidates, while single transferable vote uses multi-member constituencies and transfers votes from eliminated candidates.

The document discusses problems in India's judicial system including a backlog of over 3 crore pending cases, corruption, lack of infrastructure and judges, and unwillingness of lawyers to become judges. It provides several potential solutions such as parallel hearings, extended court hours, use of technology to file and track cases, and creating awareness programs. Implementation would require hiring more judges and staff, training, and funding from private organizations. The solutions could help reduce pending cases and corruption while improving the speed, infrastructure, and public belief in the judicial system. Challenges include hiring qualified people and developing new technology while obtaining political support.

The document summarizes several proposed solutions to address issues in India's current judicial system, including 3.5 crore pending cases and long average case disposition time of 15 years. The key solutions proposed are: 1) Implementing a CLP (Continuing Law Practice) point system to require top lawyers to serve as judges; 2) Establishing specialized courts to handle certain case types to reduce load on high courts; 3) Adding evening and weekend court sessions to clear backlog; and 4) Creating a National Commission for judicial appointments and a National Judicial Administrative Office to increase independence and funding of the judiciary. The document argues these solutions could help reduce pending case backlog over time and provide more timely justice.

The Indian judiciary faces significant challenges including a large backlog of over 3 crore pending cases. With only 13 judges per 10 lakh citizens, far below international standards, the judicial system is overwhelmed. While alternative dispute resolution and efforts by judges have reduced the backlog somewhat, delays of 15 years for civil cases undermine justice. Recommendations to address the issues include increasing judges, prioritizing cases, implementing time bounds, developing infrastructure and legal training, implementing information technology for transparency, and ensuring adequate budgets. Successful implementation of these recommendations could help clear a large portion of the backlog and improve the functioning of the Indian judicial system.

Judicial delays in india causes & remedies
This document discusses the causes of and remedies for judicial delays in India's court system. It identifies several key causes of delays, including a lack of judges relative to population, poor infrastructure in courts, complex procedural laws, and adjournments frequently sought by lawyers. To address delays, the document recommends increasing the number of judges, filling existing vacancies, implementing a shift system to utilize courts more efficiently, restricting adjournments, using alternative dispute resolution, and setting time limits for case hearings and decisions. Overall, reforms are needed to the judicial system and cooperation from lawyers is important to help expedite case disposal and reduce India's massive backlog of over 30 million pending cases.

The document proposes a multifurcated federal justice system in India to address issues with delays and backlogs in the current system. Key aspects of the proposed system include establishing 25 specialized tribunals at the district court level, significantly increasing the number of judges, implementing an online case registration system, limiting adjournments, and creating an advisory council to screen civil suits appealed to the Supreme Court. The proposal estimates it could be implemented within 5 years at an initial cost of 0.3% of India's annual GDP and subsequent annual expenditure of 0.6% of GDP, creating over 700,000 new judicial system jobs. The system aims to enhance the quality, speed, and transparency of justice delivery across India.

2) The proposed Council would be composed of retired judges, law professors, retired defense/police personnel, and bar council representatives.
3) The Council would implement programs like compulsory internships, qualifying exams for new lawyers, and seminars for existing lawyers to improve lawyer skills and reduce case backlog.
4) The Council would be self-funded through annual lawyer contributions and exam fees, and help clear 1 million

It notes India has a large backlog of cases and too few judges. The investigation process is also flawed. It recommends measures like increasing judges, filling vacancies, using technology to record statements, and establishing special courts for certain crimes. It suggests improving efficiency by reducing judges' workloads and improving infrastructure. Overall it argues reforms are needed to expedite justice and maintain public trust in the judiciary.

More than 30 million cases are pending in Indian courts, causing justice delays. Justice delayed can effectively be justice denied as victims suffer while waiting long periods for verdicts. Several factors contribute to delays, including a low judge-to-population ratio in India compared to other developing nations. Proposed solutions include implementing night courts modeled after "Janta Darbars" to expedite case disposal, using retired judges to preside over night courts, and strengthening the judicial system with improved funding and infrastructure to modernize case management. Challenges to implementing night courts include the significant financial investment required as well as ensuring judgements are not compromised by increased pace.

The document discusses the need for reforms in India's judicial system to ensure timely justice. It notes that while laws and governments change over time, many of India's laws are from the British era and in need of updates. It highlights several key issues with the current system, including massive case backlogs, a shortage of judges, and investigations that take too long. Several reforms are suggested such as establishing an independent judicial service, increasing accountability, implementing technology to improve efficiency, and setting time limits for resolving cases. The document advocates for stronger deterrents for crime and reducing delays at each step to help deliver speedy justice, especially for vulnerable groups.
Judicial delays in india causes & remedies
This document discusses the causes of and potential remedies for judicial delays in India's court system. It identifies several key causes of delays, including a lack of judges relative to population size, poor infrastructure and record keeping in courts, complex procedural laws, frequent adjournments granted by lawyers and judges, and the practice of rotating judges between cases. To address delays, the document recommends increasing the number of judges, utilizing retired judges, limiting adjournments, implementing a two-shift court system, encouraging alternative dispute resolution, and simplifying procedural laws. The overall goal is to reduce case backlogs and ensure timelier justice delivery in India.

The document discusses the issue of delays in the Indian justice system. It notes that currently there are 3.5 crore pending cases, India has a very low judge to population ratio compared to other countries, and on average it takes 15 years to resolve a case. To address this, it argues that budget allocation for the judiciary needs to increase, vacancies need to be filled, infrastructure improved, laws updated to handle modern issues, and more fast-track courts established across states to expedite justice.

The document discusses efforts to improve the timeliness and efficiency of the judicial system in India. It notes that the Advancing Justice effort includes systems reviews, evaluation of time standards, and assessment of how judges manage caseloads. Caseflow management aims to increase judicial control over cases to prevent unnecessary delays. Several statistics are presented showing the increasing caseloads and backlogs in India's courts. Suggested remedies to help address the issues include setting up institutions to train judges more quickly, establishing strict deadlines for prosecutors, and allowing experienced advocates to serve as assistant judges.
THE-JUSTICE-LEAGUE
The document discusses modernization of the Indian judiciary. It outlines several issues with the current system including low judge to population ratio, high case pendency rates, and an inefficient legal education system. It proposes solutions such as forming case screening panels comprising retired judges and police officers to reduce false cases, implementing IT solutions to improve legal education, and establishing special fast-track courts to reduce delays in case disposal. The document provides details on the proposed screening panel structure and recruitment process as well as a plan to increase practical exposure for law students through a new website managed by the Bar Council of India.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentation
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

Delays of justice in indian courts
- 1. Siva Prasad Bose Delays of justice in Indian courts
- 2. The problem of slow disposal of court cases • As the saying goes, justice delayed is justice denied. • Cases pending for a long time lead to unnecessary stress and unnecessary costs in litigants, and may result in denial of justice altogether. • Therefore, this delay of resolution is a problem that urgently needs tacking. 0 1000000 2000000 3000000 4000000 0-20 years 20-30 years >30 years Number of cases with time taken to resolve
- 3. Reason 1: Too many pending cases • There are too many pending cases in Indian courts • Supreme Court has 60000 pending cases • High courts have 5750000 pending cases • Lower courts have 38000000 pending cases • This huge number of pending cases clogs the court system 0 5000000 10000000 15000000 20000000 25000000 30000000 35000000 40000000 Supreme Court High courts Lower Courts Approx. number of pending cases in Indian courts
- 4. Reason 2: Too few judges • India has less than 17000 judges in total, with 17 judges per million of the population, which is probably the lowest judge to population ratio in the world. • The ideal number should be around 60000 judges for the 50 judges per million ratio, as per the findings of the law commission of India. 0 10000 20000 30000 40000 50000 60000 70000 Current number Desired number Total number of judges in different courts
- 5. Reason 3: Delays in recruitment of judges • New judicial recruitments are also not being done soon enough. • The government is also not doing enough to recruit the needed increased number of judges. • There is a high bar on recruitment of judges and also on recruitment of judges to higher courts such as high court and supreme court. • Even today, thousands of vacancies (up to one third of the sanctioned strength, which itself is low) are lying unfilled. • The budget allocated by the government for the judiciary infrastructure is too low as well.
- 6. Reason 4: Delays by police and other government agencies • Police often refuse to file FIRs in the case of many complaints by the public, or refuse to investigate properly on time. • Doing this, investigating and taking action speedily by the police, could have led to speedy disposal in the earliest stages of the cases and led to them not having to come to the courts, reducing the burden on the justice system. • Why do the police not take speedy action? It could be due to a number of factors such as • lethargy or corruption, where some of the parties are well connected politically. • inaction by other government agencies as well. • The police may be more hesitant to take action if the complainants are poor, not connected, or from rural areas.
- 7. Reason 5: Delays due to litigants • Sometimes litigants can delay the cases as well. For example, if one party are illegally occupying the other party's property, they may want the justice to be delayed in order to keep staying on the property. • The litigants can delay cases in a number of ways such as the following: • Not being present in court dates • Inserting unnecessary applications to divert the court’s attention • Asking for adjournments • Requesting information from banks or other government agencies • Delays in execution even after an order has been given • Unnecessary appeals
- 8. Solution: How to speed up cases • Increase the recruitment of judges • Increase the number of virtual hearings in all courts including lower courts • Make sure the police and other agencies do their job speedily • Increase the budget allocation from the government • Improve the quality of judges by better training
