Unclogging the Courts

Context: Recently, a senior judge of the Supreme Court of India, while hearing a case, stated that frivolous cases have been making the Court dysfunctional.

The problem of frivolous cases, although identified, continues because of following reasons:

  1. Government as a major litigant
  1. Ignoring National Litigation Policy 2010
  1. Non-appointment of judges

      4. Other issues that lead to clogging of the system include the refusal to increase the number of sanctioned posts, lack of infrastructure in the district courts, absence of training of judges, stalling of police reforms etc
