In this contest, we would like to mention that currently our society is suffering from ill-governance, resulting in the sufferings of the common man. These include. among others, increasing law & order problems; But such a situation is just because there is no accountability of the Investigating Officer (IOs) and the Public Prosecutor (PPs). If they are held accountable for any undue delay and let off & punishment, then not only congestion in courts would come down, our policing will become effective, and delivery of justice & governance will improve. For this, only Judiciary has to pass strict structures and recommend the punishment for erring IOs and PPs.
Further, I feel our present judicial system requires an efficient management. It can only be possible by making judiciary accountable for -
(a) unnecessary adjournments and prolonging arguments;
(b) disappointing witnesses and treating them like a bonded person at the cost of their personal life and family security; and
(c) putting a large number of cases on the day of hearing which are not possible to deal with. Before taking up any case, it should be scrutinised whether the case is complete in all respects. Besides, I would like to add two points for speedy disposal of cases and reduction of cases:
(a) A lawyer should be engaged only if the court feels necessary. The parties concerned should come to the court with all the evidences at their disposal and argue the cases themselves. And the judge should pronounce the judgment based on their evidences.
(b) To reduce the number of cases, specify minimum punishment for every offence. Presently we have laid down 'maximum punishment." Maximum punishment is to be "life or death" even for a minor offence such as ignoring the red signal.
Thanks & regards,

The country must continue to have faith in our judicial system.
However it needs to be emphasised that it can only function when the following judicial reforms are forced on the govt by the public--
1.Filling up all vacancies of judges at all levels.The selection procedure should be done by a judicial Commission and not by the govt,as is being done.Most of the courts are functioning at 50% or less than the auth numbers.
2. A time bound limit must be laid down for the completion and issue of the judgement my the Courts in all cases ie Civil,Criminal etc .No case can /should go on for more than one year.All civil cases must be decided within 6 months and all others within 12 months.
3. Adjournments should only be given for max 6 days and that also not more than 4 times,2 for the plaintiff and 2 for the respondent.The case can then only be finalised.People will then start having faith in the judiciary.
3.Police reforms must be comleted within 2 months and made independent of the political/IAS .LOK PAL Bill must be passed with CBI becoming independent.
4.THe courts will save the people and the country.
5Let us force the govt to take action
