Challenges Afflicting Indian Courts

Abstract | The Indian legal system faces numerous challenges that impact nearly every court across the nation. Key issues include a heavy caseload coupled with inadequate court facilities, personnel, and equipment. The wealth disparity exacerbates inequalities, placing the poor in a position where they struggle more intensely to access justice. Additionally, slow judicial proceedings, a shortage of judges, and a failure to adopt technology are contributing factors to ongoing delays. Allegations of corruption within the judiciary, lawyers' strikes, a lack of specialist expertise among judges, ineffective legal aid systems, linguistic barriers among individuals, irregularities in case listings, opaque processes for the appointment and transfer of judges, and the executive's tendency to disregard the Supreme Court collegium's recommendations for judiciary appointments and promotions based on selective intelligence reports are significant challenges. Furthermore, some judges exhibit political biases that may seek future favors, and the temporary nature of public prosecutor positions alongside biased selection processes complicates matters. Addressing these issues requires comprehensive reforms, increased funding for the sector, and a firm commitment to proper legal practices. |
