do you think there is a need to change our legal system

In short, a better infrastructures & modern facility to make the deliverables effectively such as networking, internet & computer, database access without restriction, linking all courts & providing archives online for referral etc.

Since Independence, the legal system is same that is to say, the number of courts at various level is same. But, the population growth has gone up any where in billions. Number of Lawyer is not adequate as there is no multiplicity of Law colleges in proportions. There needs to be a reasoning on "increasing the number of courts as the load(demand of work) increased ". Inadequate professionals with inadequate courts makes CASES pile up in racks. Adding to it, the abrupt transfer, retirement of lawyer / ministers concerned delays the legal process.

By changing it & making it functional, it needs a lot of resources & training, I do not think that, any Govt will come forward to do it.

Rather, where we find set backs, there we need to bring in amendments, new laws, bylaws etc. For that , we need a supportive political environment. What we see in, any bills put forward are turned down & makes blocks for the desirable progress to that section.

It is not the system that is going to do wonders for the people. It is the people who dwell in it to bring bout the Wonders.

ofcourse Aarti, the lacuna is in implementation. and that leads to governance issue which is the culprit of all the woes.

Yes I agree with you. Present legal system of Munshif to district to high to suprecourt is ok.

We need more courts & professionals to deliver the goods in time. May be a set of FAST TRACK court can be formed in addition to what we have so that, based the urgency & severity of case, it can be dispensed with at shortest time.

Clearance of old cases at the fast rate will infuse more confidence in the mass.

I support your views, Aarti & thanks for referral.

Thanks,Arti,though my views are in conformity to Mr Dhingra who has painted picture perfect of the state of legal system.I am supporting your argument on the premise that there is a need to re look in to the procedural part of the legal system.A seasoned lawyer can felicitate the proceedings postponed months or years together.This leads to ill will for the legal system among the most  of victims. 

Aarti I ditto your point of view on the subject.

The Government of India, officially known as the Union Government, and also known as the Central Government, was established by the Constitution of India, and is the governing authority of the union of 28 states and seven union territories, collectively called the Republic of India. It is seated in New Delhi, the capital of India. The government comprises three branches: the executive, the legislative and the judiciary. The executive branch headed by the President, who is the Head of State and exercises his or her power directly or through officers subordinate to him.[1] The Legislative branch or the Parliament consists of the lower house, the Lok Sabha, and the upper house, the Rajya Sabha, as well as the president. The Judicial branch has the Supreme Court at its apex, 21 High Courts, and numerous civil, criminal and family courts at the district level. The basic civil and criminal laws governing the citizens of India are set down in major parliamentary legislation, such as the Civil Procedure Code, the Indian Penal Code, and the Criminal Procedure Code. The union and individual state governments consist of executive, legislative and judicial branches. The legal system as applicable to the federal and individual state governments is based on the English Common and Statutory Law. India accepts International Court of Justice jurisdiction with several reservations. By the 73rd and 74th amendments to the constitution, the Panchayat Raj system has been institutionalised for local governance.
