India needs ‘Fast Track Judiciary’ and not ‘Fast Track Courts’

We innovated in judicial system and bought special fast track courts, which deliver their judgments within two, three years. Our conventional courts run the matter and deliver the judgments in decades. High profile cases stay pending for decades if not years, judgment coming after twenty years is assumed to be an early judgment. Ten year’s legal fight is normal.

All these necessitated in creation of fast track courts, as said they deliver their judgments in time frame of two, three years. Lets analyze our this creations in light of the Constitution of India; our Constitution talk about ‘no discrimination on various grounds’. Would not sanity consider the very creation of fast track courts as discriminating? Because, when we already had a system, on which guidance of our Constitution do we give special time frame to particular courts, while we leave other courts in judicial traffic jam? Are not we discriminating?

What was a much better legal solution was rather than creating some fast track courts we should have worked for speeding up our complete judicial system. It would had really given meaning to justice if our judicial system had accelerated. Overall growth of a tree makes it look appealing rather than few shoots showing growth while whole tree shows sign of dormancy.

We need our whole judicial system to become fast track, rather than few fast track courts. Every court should become fast track court. Every section of our legal codes should also have time frame of days, month and years within which their corresponding judgments should be met. Else it’s just some branches showing growth on a dormant tree, Honorable Supreme Court of India should look into this aspect.

In Hindi: Bharat ki zarurat ‘fast track nyaay’ hae naaki ‘fast track adalat’
