HBecause our population is too large and number of courts / judges too few… Government does not appoint new judges or improve infrastructure of courts. Each day most courts have around 100+ cases (on average) listed before it for various reasons. Magistrate’s courts in Mumbai often have 200+ cases on a single day.. The Court time is from 11 am to 1 pm and from 2 to 4.30. Even if a judge decides to work hard and wants to take cases after court hours, the court staff won’t support as they don’t want to do unpaid extra work. In such circumstances, it is impossible for them to clear the huge pendency and the total number of cases just keeps increasing. Most judges knowing that it is impossible to ever clear the pendency lose any motivation of trying extra hard.
It’s not the Court’s fault that it takes time for cases but the fact that Government is not appointing more judges and creating more courts. If you want cases to finish quickly you would need to at least double or triple the number of courts. But sad reality is despite dire need of more courts, government is not even filling up vacancies in existing courts.

UBecause everyone needs to resort to extortion. Even in a simple divorce case, they manage to drag it out for over 20 years. If someone is falsely accused in these cases, they might be willing to sell everything to save themselves. On the other hand, if they committed the crime and know they’re going to prison, why would they face trial after getting bail? They could just disappear. Nearly everyone who faces trial is either innocent or believes they can get away with it—either by pressuring the complainant or bribing their way out of it.
