Special
efforts are required for making the judicial system better
in the country. Specially, there is concern over mounting
number of pending cases. Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh
has also expressed concern over the issue of delay in judicial
process. He believes that if this situation is not controlled
in time then the entire judicial system would come under question
and crumble by its own pending cases. In a two-day joint conference
of State Chief Ministers and Chief Justices of the courts
Dr Singh said that the state governments should increase judicial
officials in their states to solve pending cases as soon as
possible. Dr Singh seems to be in consonance with the suggestion
of Supreme Court Chief Justice, KG Balakrishnan that special
courts should be formed to speed up disposal of pending cases.
Problems of the people due to delay in delivering of justice
should be felt. Action should be taken on the concern of Prime
Minister. In fact the common people specially of weaker sections
of society have to face problems in this matter. There is
need to bring in reforms in the judicial process for providing
instant and cheap justice to common people. Along with this
the new cases should also be solved without effecting much
delay. Explaining the government's initiative in introducing
the gram nyayalayas bill 2007, Dr Singh said these courts
would provide justice in relatively simple civil and criminal
cases in 90 days. It is also envisaged that the courts would
function in a manner that justice can be delivered on the
doorstep of the justice seeker.
