It is a cause of concern that delay caused in the courts is a perpetual problem faced by litigants who knock the sacred door of the temple of justice with great expectations. The non delivery of the judgments and orders within the stipulated time period is a cause of concern and these delays are created by judges and judges alone. Non delivery of judgments and orders is not a new problem. It has existed since the evolution of modern judicial system.
Every litigant has a constitutional right to secure justice and the non-delivery of judgment after conclusion of arguments causes indignation and perturbation to the poor litigant. I am not speaking of those cases involving lengthy arguments and sophisticated questions of law. My concern is about simple cases which can be easily disposed off where there is violation of the rights of a citizen by the state. I refer to the plight of a citizen rushing to the court for an injunction or whose rights are violated by different arms or authorities of the government. The litigant approaches the court under the strong belief that irrespective of the costs and expenses involved in conducting the case, the sacred temple of justice would uphold justice and provide relief once approached.
