Delays in Court Cases in India

<p>The court system in India is overburdened with a high number of pending cases. This acts as a barrier to justice reducing the confidence of the public in our court system and causing a loss of time and money and additional stress for the litigants.</p><p>In this book we discuss some of the reasons for the delays in court cases. We touch upon the scale of the problem and its underlying causes. We use data from various sources and reports which are cited where necessary. We especially focus on pending property cases since they are the largest group of pending cases and also take the longest to resolve.&nbsp;</p>
