Chief justice suggests out-of-court settlement of cases.

In Allahabad High Court currently second appeals of 1977 and criminal appeals of 1981 are being listed for hearing. The Chief Justice is very tuff in considering an expedite application. one can imagine about turn of an appeal being filed today . A party should instruct his next generations to expect the hearing till the end of this century.

Till when a common man will depend upon courts and for what?

Dr.Tripathi ji,

I beg your pardon. What for courts? is it inefficiency of juidicial administration for handling of cases? If the out of courts settelments take place a right person can not get justice in this present india. Money and muscle power play vital role for setteling of out of court  cases.

Satyprakash is right.  And in the courts it is new trend go for compromise, because they want to get the rewards, LC jusdges because of the comrpomise they will get benefits and rewards and will be appreciated by the Admn., judge and chief justice.  And these both will evaluated to Supreme court. 

These compromise cases will be counted as if  they are comromised in lok Adalat.

 I AGREE WITH SATYA PRAKASH & RAJEEV.

the system is changing both ways now....not all but a substantial part of litigation comes out of ego clashes...so on one side there is an effort to reduce litigation by promoting amicable settlement and simultaneously new appointments are being made as well as new courts are being established for early disposal of the matters.

as the target of 3 yrs limit for disposal of any case has been set, so in the next 2-3 years there will be big change in Indian Judicial system...rather the lawyers must be ready for a fast working.

in the last one year Punjab and Haryana High Court has achieved a distinction as far as disposal is concerned, the no. of decided cases was more than the filed cases.

the purpose of promoting amicable settlement is to make people more wise and aware of the final outcome of the judicial verdicts.

A DISPUTE IS NOTHING BUT NON-COPRIMISE OF PARTIES. IF COMPROMISE IS ACHIEVED NO CASE AT ALL.

I appreciate positive thinking of Kiran ji regarding future of our judicial system. The fact is if a right person gets injustice in out of court settelments what the sufferer has to do?

Hoping for the best of our future judiciary.

 Cases go on increasing exponentially. Increase in number of judges and courts cannot keep pace with it. Dr. Tripathi is right. Hearing in the next generation. Decision in the next to next generation.

Closing cases through Arbitration,Mediation,Conciliation and settlement shall reduce tension,unnecessary litigation,save time and money. Neverthless,it will leave courts to concentrate on matters requiring deep analysis. The lawyers too can increase efficiency instead of engaging in petty cases. Mr. Kirankumar has opined in correct perspective.

 Should courts and judges be multiplied? Please read this:

Bombay was lucky or unlucky in having at this crisis a Chief  Justice of exceptional caliber, Sir Norman Mcleod, who instead of multiplying  Judges preferred to massacre suits and appeals. 

Does litigation fascinate Indians? Is it clash of ego? Read this:

Ever since the Constitution of the Privy Council as the Court of ultimate appeal from British India by a Statuette of 1833, the bulk of its business was from Indian appeals.

Give consideration as to why the bulk of business was from India in days when there were no planes, it took months to travel to England. 

I am afraid no amount of judicial reform shall reduce the number of cases. It is all fairy tale.

 In a country where the legislature and executive have failed miserably, the beleaguered people look up to the judiciary for succour. But if the judiciary is not above reproach thanks to the misdeeds of a few judges, what is the way out?

Answer: Dons.

A YOUNG Guwahati woman graduated in law and approached a senior woman advocate to guide her to an established advocate under whom she would begin her career. The senior woman advocate hesitated and warned the learner to be on guard while working under a man, her senior. Luckily, the matter ended there as the apprentice found a decent senior. Nonetheless, one Guwahati High Court advocate was arrested a few months ago for molesting a girl and rumours of the adverse senior-junior relationship assumed call-centre-like proportion in Guwahati.

 Sheela Dixit settled it out of court.
