How effective is the Legal system in our country...

This is not at all effective in our country because of the politicians and bureaucrats won't let it happen in their own interests.

They of course try to manipulate everything to their advantage , legal system included.However, in ordinary cases this cannot hamper justice since there is no political involvement there..

I wish you knew the reality, that is altogether different. Politicians can influence the justice indirectly with pressure through different channels.

The rules which are made in our legal system is good enough,but if we follow it.We are not following even half of it and that makes our legal system less effective.

Yes thats what I too feel, that the rules are fine and are being modified every now and then,they have introduced the system of family court to deal with domestic problems which apparently is running very efficiently..The problem is the sheer volume of cases..

It's at the level of implementation that's administration of justice where this country has miserably failed. We have reached a flash point and standing at cross-roads!

That I too agree with ! whereas , certain sections function well, there is a lot more that needs to be looked into .The other day I was reading about a news article in the local papers where 6 youngsters were jailed on suspicion and have been released after 3 years with absolutely no proof of their involvement in the crime they were supposed to have committed...I am sure there are hundreds of such cases across the country because the system is so lax !

Delay in justice is tantamount to denial or miscarriage of justice! The sooner our judicial authorities give due importance to this very basic concept of justice,the better!

True, but there is a problem there and the problem is that the people who have more money, power and political influence are the ones that are considered more worthy of getting any justice. Otherwise, how would the likes of a Salman Khan who on his drunken driving spree killed poor people, walk away scotfree without any punishment. He still is alive and enjoying his life well! :angry: :angry:

It is also one of the gravest threat that has already produced several distortions in the system.Only we have to look at the US system to reform our deformed system! Even the most powerful President Nixon was not allowed to escape from its jaws. Recently Rajat Gupta has a taste of it!!

And that should be the general norm, because people should not be made larger than life, but in India it is exactly that way and for such people, laws are bent and twisted in every manner to let them walk free! :angry:

Given the sheer numbers and meddling by the ruling class, it is not easy for the legal fraternity to do full justice, but they are trying to do the best under the circumstances...

I don't think so,that our legal system is improving. :( In our town, in our relatives family case,it took 10 to 12 resolve.
Is it a good law who takes 10 to 12 years to solve our problem?

The property cases usually take more time. Often there are delaying tactics by parties, advocates. There is heavy arrears also in courts.

Now there are fast track courts also and period in settlement is being reduced. The number of adjournments is also being restricted. Possible, things will improve.

Exactly ! There have been many reforms in the legal system of late and one can see it happening ! We have a civil case regarding ancestral property and since 4 or 5 months I see that things have become better.In fact they have warned everyone concerned that if they fail to attend when there is a hearing continuously for 3 times the case will be finalised ...

In the beginning, they do try to do things right, but ultimately they give in to the system and just go along with it!! :angry:

Surprisingly kalyani, I and my family have had some pleasant surprises since a few months ,after having gone through 4 years of legal battle over some ancestral property , and all because of the reforms that have come about.There is a stipulated time now for civil cases and also fewer adjournments and things do move much faster now..

That is indeed a very positive scenario and I am glad that you are lucky to see better changes. For me personally, I am having quite an opposite situation, an old case pending for a long time and relief seen nowhere in the near future.

Do you think that it is the session courts run by state governments that are responsible for these changes ? In which case it would differ from state to state right ?

The judiciary up to level of High court depend to a large extent on facilities provided by state governments. The lower judiciary is not entirely independent of state government. Role of state government is thus significant. accommodation is provided to courts by state governments. Also the judges get their allowances and salary from state governments.

So, the state government does have a large say in the matter...Probably thats why the working system is different from state to state !
