The challenge of increasing burden and pending cases on the country’s judiciary is not new, but when the judge of a High Court itself has to openly mention his excessive charge, the seriousness of the situation increases further. One such shocking statement of Bombay High Court recently Justice Madhav Jamdar Has given
He commented during the hearing in the open court and said that he is often Get out of court only after 11:30 pmAnd for such a delay, they have to hear cases continuously. This comment not only highlights the individual sacrifice and stress of the judges, but also underlines the heavy charge prevailing on the country’s judicial system.
Crores of cases are pending in India’s courts, and the number of judges is very low in this ratio. In such a situation, there is excessive pressure on the existing judges. They have to work for more than the prescribed hours every day so that they can reduce the rising piles of cases to some extent. The statement of Justice Jamdar shows the reality of how judges have to struggle in the process of providing justice day and night.
Such highly working hours of working hours can have a serious negative impact on the health and personal life of judges, which can also affect their decision -making ability. This situation is also a major reason for delay in the judicial process, where the principle of ‘delay in justice, refusal of justice’ repeatedly faces challenge.
This statement is an important warning to policy makers and judicial administration that there is an immediate need to intensify judicial appointments, improve infrastructure, and to streamlide legal processes. Reducing the charge on judges will not only help them provide quality justice, but will also strengthen the quick and skilled justice distribution system, which is eventually indispensable for the trust of common citizens and the progress of the nation.
