India's courts are among the busiest in the world, yet justice often moves painfully slowly. Cases remain unresolved for years, sometimes decades, leaving ordinary citizens trapped in uncertainty, stress and rising legal costs. For many, the court system feels less like a path to justice and more like a long, unavoidable struggle.
This book explains why delays happen and what can be done to fix them. It looks closely at the major causes of pendency: shortage of judges, complex procedures, slow investigations, misuse of legal provisions, and intentional delays by litigants. It examines why property disputes take so long, why undertrials languish in jail, and why family cases often stretch across a large part of a person's life.
The book also explores the role of technology in modernising justice. From digital courts and virtual hearings to AI-assisted research, case summarisation and early detection of frivolous filings, new tools are beginning to change how courts work. These developments, along with recent reforms such as the Mediation Act and the overhaul of criminal laws, show that improvement is possible.
Clear, concise, and based on real data and reports, this guide offers practical recommendations for faster, fairer courts. It is written for citizens, students, policymakers, and anyone who wants to understand how India's justice system can be made more efficient and accessible.
