Veerappa Moily stresses goal oriented action to expedite the justice delivery system

Dr. Veerppa Moily, Union Minister of Law & Justice has stated that all the stakeholders should work for goal oriented action to expedite the justice delivery system in the country. Addressing the ‘National Consultation for Strengthening the Judiciary towards reducing pendency and delays’, Dr. Moily stressed the need for bringing down the pendency of cases in the courts across the country within a time frame. He said that justice delivery system is falling short of the common citizen’s expectations especially the weaker sections of the society and causing a feeling of injustice and alienation among them.

He further said that fifty three thousand cases are pending with the Supreme Court, Forty lakh with different High Courts and Two crore Seven lakh cases with Lower Courts up to July 2009. On this occasion Dr. Moily also presented vision statement to Mr. Justice K.G. Balakrishan, Chief Justice of India. The Action Plan include immediate measures for implementations like creation of National Arrears Grid / Identification of Arrears, Identification of Bottlenecks in Crises Areas, Adoption of innovative measures for expeditious case disposal, focus on selection, training and performance assessment of judicial personnel and court management executives and procedural, management and administrative changes.

Tailpiece
To clear the backlog of over 20 million cases it will take the Indian Judicial System a time span of over 450 years as per current time consuming process. What this really implies is that the Government is keen to ensure that the litigant dies tenfold (45x10) to ensure that the case is buried forever. Chances of a criminal ever getting convicted is remote as he would have died literally during the litigation. Therefore the mute question is: Is Indian Democracy producing more criminals than citizens? It is only matter of time when criminal population surpass population of its genteel citizens.
