More courts,more judges can deliver timely justice: CJI

“To deliver justice in time and bring efficiency in the judicial system,we have to set up more courts,appoint more judges and create more infrastructure facilities,” he said,stressing that timely justice is the right of the citizens of the country.

The CJI said that in recent years,there has been focus on infrastructure which has started delivering results but still much needs to be done.

“A judge in the lower court has to deal with hundreds of cases on daily basis. In such scenario,you cannot expect him to deliver justice in time,” he said,underlining the burden of enormous pendency of cases in various courts in the country.

According to him,there should be more courts so that people can come to the courts seeking resolution of their grievances and complaints.
