FAST TRACKING – COURT CASES ----?

Narendra Modi  Govt, as per the promises made during Election Campaigns, has approached the JUDICIARY  to ensure that all cases of HEINOUS CRIMES  against  Elected ones in the Parliament and different State Assemblies  are taken up by Fast Tracking the process so as to be finalized in a year’s time. CJI has expressed inability to help on the Grounds of – LACK OF NEEDED INFRASTRUCTURE   including the shortages of  Judges and also taking into account the already similarly referred cases of crimes  against  WOMEN  and Senior citizens. This as well is in knowledge of the general public that in this Country as a whole,all types of small and serious cases continue to linger on relating to Civil as well as Criminal disputes for decades together  and even  at present pendencies in all courts including High Courts and  Supreme court may be in  lacs. Despite all these  accumulations  and delays ,it is observed that Courts as per the old traditions are kept closed for long Vacations. Then the number of declared Holidays each year too have  been increased on the whims of the parties in power at different stages/in different States  for “PLEASE ALL EFFORTS”  to attract Votes. So as to be able to fulfil the pious desire of the present Government,  some suggestions are given here after, wish these shall be  considered at the appropriate levels.:-

1) The system of appeals, if not properly and scientifically defined till now need be  done, mandating the stages and occasions  the Same can be taken up,

2) Old tradition of LONG VACATIONS  need be done away with  and system of  Holidays all through in a year besides Sundays  need be brought down to a maximum of  two or three only i.e. Independence day – Republic day - & at most Gandhi Jyanti. Extra 4/5  holidays in a year  can be mandated to be on RESTRICTED  basis, which may be availed  by an individual according to  his  respective  Faith or needs. In that case working at all places including the Courts will not be hampered even for a single day.

3 )The Judges/the Advocates who are found responsible for prolonging the suits,need be identified  and strict PENAL  ACTION initiated ,also in order to pass on message to others in the profession.

 4) Working hours, in order to clear the BACK LOG & PENDENCIES, can be increased by at least an hour daily, also ensuring PUNCTUALITY in the working. All laxities can be treated as punishable. For the purpose, installing  Cameras in the Courts to keep a watch on the working and commitment on parts of all may help a lot.

5) Encouraging encashment of accumulated leaves too can be considered to encourage  MORE PRESENCE on  the job and consequently disposal of more cases.Then those who perform the best and whose cases are not reversed in appeals too should  be given recognition by showering DECORATIONS SUCH AS “Nyay rattan”, “Nyay Shree” and so on  combined with monetary benefits.

6) Cases filed by the Govt. and Public Sector undertakings with in them selves as well as against employees etc. need be taken out to be decided  out of courts and with in the departments themselves.

VANDEY MATRAM.
