The cardinal principle of natural justice is that 'justice should not only be done but it should seen to have been done' which means that those who receive justice must feel it has been done with them. Delay defeats not only equity but justice also. There are more than 3 crore cases pending in different courts of India. Many of these cases are pending for more than 10 years. At least five crore cases are filed every year and judges dispose of only two crore. As such, the pendency of cases in courts across India does indicate flaws in Indian judicial system. Such flaws negate the maxim that the role of courts in society is not merely to adjudicate disputes between parties, but also to protect the rights and liberty of individuals. Whose door has now to be knocked for eradicating delayed justice as speedy justice is part of ‘Right to life’ under Article 21 of the Constitution of India?
