Fast-track pending cases, Rajnath tells AFT

He said while the number poses the challenge of justice not being provided to the people at the right time, their quick disposal without paying attention to the judicial process is even more dangerous. “It is said that justice delayed is justice denied. People’s faith in the judicial system decreases if there is delay in justice. Fast-track courts and tribunals, etc. are established to speed up the judicial process,” he said.

“But there is a need to be careful while expediting the judicial process, otherwise there is a danger of ‘Justice hurried is justice buried’. There is a need to strike a balance between time and procedure to dispose of cases and provide justice to the people,” he said.

“Without justice, no society can attain perfection. It is our duty to deliver justice to the right person at the right time,” he said.
