Solutions to improve Indian Legal and Judicial system:

2. Information technology should be used to ease the processes
3. The case files should be all computerised
4. More authority to be given to lower courts to close cases
5. The system should be given a better infrastructure
6. Cases should be put into different categories and every category should have a time limit in which each case is to be closed
7. The reputation/training of the police should be such that they are approachable for citizens
8. Online filing of FIR should be made possible
9. Media campaigns should be done to make people aware about the judicial system and its implications
10. People having criminal cases against them should not be allowed to contest elections
11. A set number of cases should be taken up by the lower courts everyday
12. Leaves for the judiciary system should be reduced
13. Judicial categories with sector expertise could be developed so that the cases could be closed quickly
14. The system of appealing in higher courts should be relooked at
15. Corruption in lower courts should be eradicated through introduction of systems and processes
16. Time limits should be specified for filing a charge sheet by police
17. Laws must be framed with absolute clarity and should have no room for misinterpretation
18. Lying in the court should attract heavy penalty
19. All Government offices where complainants go should be under CCTV monitoring
20. Old laws should be changed according to 21st century
21. Like IAS and IFS, another wing called IIS (Indian Investigative Services) should be launched
22. Some of the retired judges should be allotted responsibility of overseeing the lower courts and help in quick closure of cases
23. A separate tribunal should be created for the property cases since quick redressal is impossible
24. Release all under trials who have spent more time in jail than required by the committed crime
25. Amend law to punish all those who lie and change statement and use system to their advantage
26. Lok Adalats should be made standing, regular, full-fledged courts with their procedures being fast, simple and short and aimed primarily at mediation and conciliation
27. Fast speed Courts for females and children will solve a lot of problems
28. Legal advisory should be made freely available for poor people
29. Lawyers who do not appear in court, on date and in time, should be heavily fined. Recurrence could lead to disbarment

No legal or judicial reform is possible in a country whose residents do not believe in Constitution. Most of the Indians have no respect for LAWS. WE have an ARMY of ADVOCATES to defend the crime and criminals. We have HUMAN RIGHT ACTIVICTS who do not believe in REFORMATORY PUNISHMENT. WE have a POLICE which ACTS as MAGISTRATE, FORCE and JALLAD. WE have a MEDIA which highlights the CRIME AND CRIMINALS AS HEROES. FINALLY, WE have a judicial system which keep on granting dates and dates and dates. WE have politicians who are liberal to criminals and granting aids to sufferer relating to caste, creeds .... Where is the provision in law to inflict 35 wounds till death to the accused of MINAXI of ANAND PARVAT CASE more

https://in.screen.yahoo.com/woman-gang-raped-torn-pieces-064700969.html Who is responsible for this type of occurrence repeating time and again? Is it the Judiciary, is it the media hype to get viewership, is it the upbringing, is it the society, is it the police? Although anyone of the above can not be pin-pointed, it is the responsibility of the Law comprising of the Judiciary and police who are largely to take responsibility. The Lawyers go out of the way to defend an otherwise guilty accused persons for the allurement of heavy compensation in terms of fees and expenses. The police do not take action even when prima facie evidence proves the crime, specially when the accused are influential. The courts, pass speculative orders and in contrast to the provisions of Law in most cases but don't take the same provisions of Law to impose detrimental punishment to the accused even when they do understand that the accused is guilty and allow the matter to go through several adjournments to stretch the case to several years where evidence gets tampered/destroyed or witnesses turning hostile or compromises bartered. When accused knows that his or their influence/money can turn the otherwise straight case in to their favor, what fear of Law can be infused to prevent or avoid such occurrences? Media needs news and such news of rape or gang rape occupies maximum viewership which no channel prefers to pass. What judicial reforms can change this scenario except the members to join the commission find it to be another opportunity to wield their purchase power? Courts pass differing orders not only from the lower courts to higher courts but also different benches of the High and Supreme Courts. So what reliability of justice deliverance can be envisaged? Times of India wrote a big tittle to an article sometime back and it reads "Judgement does not mean Justice is done" more
