Study of Court processes and Re-engineering Opportunities for Improving Court efficiencies for
Justice Delivery in India
Executive Summary
The Indian Judiciary is one of the three branches of the government and is independent from the
executive and the legislature. The court system in India is set according to a hierarchy with the Supreme
Court of India at the apex of the hierarchy followed by the High Courts of the respective states, then
the District courts and then Magistrates of Second Class & Civil Judges (Junior Division) form the bottom
of the hierarchy. While the Supreme Court of India is primarily an appellate court with a few instances
of original jurisdiction, the High Courts also act as the administrative head of the subordinate judiciary
in the respective states. Rules and regulations regarding administration, disposal of cases, language of
record, etc. are largely determined by the High Courts.
Long delays in processing cases are common in the Indian judicial system. The incessant delays in the
court cases affect fairness and efficiency of the judicial system which in turn weakens ‘access to justice’,
democracy, the rule of laws and enforcement of those laws. This problem persists despite the fact that
for more than 60 years, judges, lawyers, and policymakers in India have studied and experimented with
ways to speed the processing of civil and criminal cases. Delay reduction programs, however, need to
be checked at the micro level rather than providing general prescriptions for major causes of delay.
The judicial delay and the resultant access to justice issues have led to affirm the belief that “Law is
nothing but the convenience of the powerful”. Law and the judicial system must work equally for all
sections of the society, yet it runs parallel between two different sections of the society – one for the
rich and the resourceful, and the rest with no or limited resources. Large backlog of cases have not only
resulted in justice delay but a long pending resolution of such cases have been creating frustration
within the society as well causing inevitable abuse and lack of trust on the system and policymaking at
large. This report attempts to understand the sources of those delays and propose some corrective
measures that may be considered to tackle the delays.
Types of Functionalities identified
40 randomly selected civil cases (See Annex I and II) of different types from the 24 South Parganas
District Court jurisdiction were analysed to understand the functionalities involved and delays in detail.
Summary of each case is listed in the appendix. The following tables summarize the duration of the
delay and the percentage contribution to delay.

In depth interviews were conducted to understand stakeholders view on the delay and propose
corrective measures accordingly.
Litigant’s views
• Constant adjournments: The pre-announced dates undergo constant changes because of the
excuses given by the other side or opposition party. The usual stated reasons are that the senior
lawyer is absent, the client couldn’t be present for the hearing, some annexures need to be
attached, there are smaller petitions pending that needs to be disposed off, etc. The inability of the
litigant to be present on most dates and the lacunae of the system to check the same has often
been used by lawyers a frequent reason for the adjournment. Adjournments are also asked when
lower court record for the previous case needs to reach the courtroom without which there can’t
any proceeding.
• Another key reason stated by most litigants is the absence of judges in many cases. Since he is the
presiding officer, every decision needs his attestation for the order to be put into effect. Either they
are burdened with overload of cases, on leave or being transferred. In such cases the litigant is
given another case date. Apart from these causal reasons, it has been noted by some litigants that
the judge, even being present in the court has to give another date for hearing or for disposal of
petition.
• Multiple cases are filed by the same person, record from the previous cases need to be annexed
filing of same cases in the higher court for revision are also reasons that delay the initial / main case
to a great extent. In some cases it takes years for the previous records to be retrieved from the
lower court record room because they are not indexed and maintained properly.
• At times delay is also from the litigant’s part because there might be some latent /hidden benefit
that has led to filing of the cases. Thus they file cases to drag them.
• Since the lawyers are also colleague cum friends, sometimes they plan and take steps accordingly
without the conscious agreement or knowledge of the litigant.
• Holidays and vacations also leads to court adjournments thus leading to subsequent delays -
another issue cited by the litigants. Practically, a case end up getting only 5- 6 dates in a year at
most which is one of the lingering causes for the pendency of the cases. In lower courts a total of
220 working days with huge backlog of cases has been creating frustration and disappointments
across all sections of the society.
• Absence of lawyers has been stated as one of the prime reasons for adjournment in the court
functioning processes. Further, since advocates have to deal with multiple cases at the same time
they can’t be present everywhere, hence some cases have to delay so that pertinent ones can be
immediately attended. Lawyers also continue to take long dates so as to cover the tenure of the
current judge (the tenure of a judge is for a period of 2-3 years ) and present the case afresh to the
new judge.

• Requests from the lawyers like the senior lawyer being not well or the opposition party is staying
out of the state or country or evidence not able to come or be presented or proper documents and
exhibits needs to be attached as annexures or some smaller petition is still pending which needs to
be disposed before moving to the main case are also cited as cause of delay.
Lawyer’s views
For decades, it has been seen that lawyers have primarily been the agents who link the requirements
of the litigants to the suitability of the legal procedures being installed by the legal system.
• The primary reason for delay as explained by most of the lawyers is lack of judges. Since judges are
holding the autonomy to pass a judgement for disposal of cases, they are the ultimate decision
makers. But since they are an integral part of the court management system, they are also
responsible for the administrative duties and responsibilities which includes, disposal of interim
petitions, transfer orders, busy with other cases or court related work etc. In lower courts, judges
are transferred every 2-3 years which may also causes the seats to remain vacant for months or
more because of paperwork and sorting issues related to pendency of cases. Also there are delays
related to the appointment of judges which is a very cumbersome process as stated by most of
them because its time and opportunity costs are high.
• The second reason is poor infrastructure as stated by few lawyers. Due to less court rooms and high
pendency of cases (both old and fresh cases), the problem of multiple dates for disposal of one
case is an inevitable problem.
• There is a pertinent problem of inadequate court staff who are responsible for the maintenance
and protection of court documents as well as to guide the lawyers and litigants to the whereabouts
of their cases. The problems of absenteeism, low commitment towards their work, short duration
transfers and lack of administrative training has been intermittently contributing to the long delays
as well.
• Technology is a very important and the most required component to bring drastic change in the
lower courts which is followed by Supreme Court and high courts in India. Massive cases are lying
in the court rooms which still need to be replaced by the digitisation. For e.g. – in some civil cases
it has been seen that the lower court record (LCR) takes years to reach the respective court room,
because the records are not yet found by the personnel in the record room. Most cases have many
interim petitions and other smaller cases added to them which requires to be disposed off before
moving to the main case. Thus lack of adequate technology is leading to higher pendency of cases.
• There is a huge delay due to the processes of court functioning which results from the litigants
occurring during the trial stage namely non-attendance of witnesses, non-appearance of lawyers,
lengthy oral arguments, arbitrary adjournments, delayed judgments.
• Lastly, cases are dragged by either of the party in some cases because there is a greater profit /
benefit that is available on filing a case, hence misused by litigants or lawyers at times. Thus the
legal system is sometimes misused by frivolous litigation. There are also delays whenever appeals
are filed by litigants on matters of fact or matters of law , causing delay at the appellate stage .
Moreover, during the execution stage also some form of delay does happen for instance in eviction
cases related to urban property, delays are caused by successive attempts to obstruct delivery.

Thus it is greater need for significant contribution from the Government to improve the judiciary
process. More commitment, improved and well implemented policies would eradicate the problem of
neglect that litigants are facing in the hands of a system which disregards their sufferings instead of
reciprocating to them.
Select recommendations for improvement (see pp. 41-48)
• Long adjourned time period. Being the decision making authority of the court, presiding officers should
be sensitized about the apathy of litigants for this delay. Attempt must be made to speedup long
pending cases with shorter adjournments, and the presiding officer must be empower to such
discretionary power in the interest of the judicial process. Behavioural training should be imparted at a
frequent intervals to sensitize the presiding officers. Some policy changes in terms of designing a penalty
structure is required to stop unnecessary adjournments. Secured video conferencing facility may be
established to reduce the time delay.
• The court administration and other personnel are equally responsible for the adjournments, having
their individual contributions in the cases as a whole. Thus proper training and recruitment of more
focussed and efficient personnel can lead to less of carelessness and more of seriousness from their
side. Many of them can also be outsourced to meet the growing requirement of handling multiple
cases and the backlogs.
• Lawyers are mostly willing to file multiple cases within the radar of one lawsuit because this is their
business. But the judges have the authority to accept or reject such petitions after careful perusal
or may be dispose of the petition within a week’s time. Thus putting limit caps on the duration of
smaller petitions can definitely help the litigants to a great extent.
• Digital technology has reached its peak in every aspect of our lives hence it should replace the
manual labour that still operates within the congested and overcrowded rooms of lower courts
leading to lesser paper filing and more sorted digitisation of cases. The court rooms needs to be
cleaned and infrastructure needs to be expanded to house the many cases that are being filed
already and are being filed every day. Online tracking and monitoring of cases by a central
information system of the court could be helpful. Many more fast-track courts are required even if
they would be premium pay based - at least judgement will be delivered, more judges or a body to
take decisions should be there to monitor the cases online, time based settlement and clustering
of same cases can lead to easy facilitation.
• Round the clock court service which centralized facility for filing of cases, fees, document uploads.
• More judges needs to be recruited to fill up the vacancies and meet the court’s demands. No room
should lie vacant, moreover, all the cases that need to be heard on a particular date should be
heard on the same day and not being given an adjournment, to be heard on the next date.
• The judges must be empowered to provide for promptness in delivering the judgements. Providing
managerial training programmes for judges and court official to increase efficiency in their
respective job roles and duties is essentially important.
• More judges should be recruited, thereby increasing the number of sanctioned judges to fill up the
vacancies; special attention should be paid to the transparency of the procedures in order to avoid
cases of nepotism or political influence in the appointment of judges.
5
802
125736/2019/NM
• All courts should be on a fast track mode - the way fast track courts work especially during the trial
stage where maximum delay is caused. A period of 5 years should be fixed for the disposal of cases,
putting limit caps to case duration.
• The working days of judges and other court officials needs to be increased on an average. Due to
strikes and holidays the lower courts functions for a period of 220 to 240 days or less. This leads to
delay in cases a whole. Also , it should be noted that the problem of multiple cases (a court date is
assigned after 2 months hence 4 to 5 dates in a year) , their complexities and lesser working days
leads to increase in case duration. Implementing such cultural changes in particular can be difficult
because they require changes in the way people work.

I. Introduction
1. The Judiciary in India

1.1 India inherited its judiciary and judicial processes from the English legal system and is
largely based on the common law. The Indian Judiciary is one of the three branches of the
government and is independent from the executive and the legislature. The court system in
India is set according to a hierarchy with the Supreme Court of India being at the apex of the
hierarchy followed by the High Courts of the respective states, then the District courts and
other subordinate judiciary forming the bottom of the hierarchy. While the Supreme Court of
India is primarily an appellate court with a few instances of original jurisdiction, the High
Courts also act as the administrative head of the subordinate judiciary in the respective states.
Rules and regulations regarding administration, finance, disposal of cases, language of record,
etc. are determined by the High Courts. [1].
2. The Supreme Court of India

2.1 The Supreme Court of India is the highest judicial authority in the country. It is the
final court of appeal under the Constitution of India. It is also the highest constitutional court
with the power of judicial review. As the highest court of appeal, the Supreme Court primarily
hears cases of appeal against judgments/orders passed by the various High Courts and other
tribunals. It is primarily a court of appeal enjoying original jurisdiction only in the cases
pertaining to fundamental rights of citizens, cases involving substantial matters of law and
disputes between various governments in India (between two or more states or between
states and the centre). Apart from appellate and original jurisdictions, it also has advisory
functions. It may hear matters referred to it by the President of India in an advisory role. Since
it is the highest court of the country and since India is a common law country, any judgment
passed by the Supreme Court of India immediately becomes law of the land and is binding on
all lower courts, citizens and other authorities of the country.
2.2 The sanctioned strength of the Supreme Court of India is 1 Chief Justice of India along
with 30 judges of the Supreme Court. Articles 124 to 147 (Chapter IV of Part V) of the
Constitution of India deal with the role, responsibilities and powers of the Supreme Court of
India [2].
3. High Courts of India

3.1 India has 24 High Courts at present at the state and union territory level. Each of these
High Courts has jurisdiction over a state (like in the case of Rajasthan or Tamil Nadu), union
territory (New Delhi) or a combination of states and/or union territories (High Court of
Judicature at Hyderabad, Punjab and Haryana High Court or Bombay High Court). The High
Court has original jurisdiction as well as appellate jurisdiction within territory over which it
9
806
125736/2019/NM
has geographical jurisdiction. As a court with original jurisdiction, suits and cases can be
directly brought to it in a wider variety of matters than enjoyed by the Supreme Court of India.
As an appellate court, it has jurisdiction on all matters disposed of by the lower courts and
some tribunals in its geographical jurisdiction. The High Courts also has administrative
responsibilities apart from juridical responsibilities, with the High Court being responsible for
setting out the administrative mechanisms for the lower courts under it. These include various
civil courts, criminal courts, family courts and other district courts. [3]
3.2 Articles 214 to 232 (Chapter V of Part VI) of the Constitution of India deal with the role,
responsibilities and powers of the High Courts of India.
4. Challenges facing the Judiciary in India

4.1 The judiciary in India has done remarkably able to retain the confidence and popular
imagination of the citizens. Although the number of cases/suits pending in the courts is very
high and the average case takes a few years before reaching completion, the people of the
country repose remarkable faith in the judiciary and judicial process in general. The judiciary
is seen as a bulwark against the corruption that is supposed to be perpetuated by the other
branches of government. It is also seen as one of the few institutions which fight for the cause
of the common man. [4]
4.2 Despite the overwhelmingly positive attitude of the public towards the judiciary, there
are several issues that plague the judicial system in India. The first and foremost is the issue
of trials pending by the millions. Indian courts have millions of pending cases. According to
the National Judicial Data Grid (accessed on 20 Dec 2018), there are close to 29 million cases
(both civil and criminal) pending across the various district and lower courts in the country.
Of these, over 56% are cases which have been pending for more than 2 years. In the various
High Courts, the number of pending cases is around 5 million cases.
4.3 If we look at the numbers for the state of West Bengal, which is the focus of this
project, the numbers are even worse. The state has about 2.2 million cases pending at the
District and Taluka Courts, of which more than 30% of these have been pending for more than
5 years. The number of new cases filed in West Bengal in the last month (18985) outstrips the
number of cases disposed of (14032) by around 5000 in the same period. At the High Court
of Calcutta, about 243456 cases are pending in with about 37% pending for more than 10
years. (National Judicial Data Grid (accessed on 20 Dec 2018).
4.4 This brings us to one of the core issues that troubles the judiciary. The number of
judges is grossly inadequate to handle the increasing workload of cases. This point was
poignantly driven home by the Chief Justice of India in a joint conference of the Chief
Ministers and Chief Justices of High Courts last month. Addressing the conference, the Chief
Justice of India lamented the fact that the executive was not proactive enough in raising the
10
807
125736/2019/NM
sanctioned strength of judges in the judiciary from the current 21,000 to the required 40,000.
He highlighted the recommendations of the Law Commission in 1987 which suggested that
the number of judges be raised from 10 judges per 10 lakh people to 50 judges per 10 lakh
people.
4.5 During interaction with the judges in the civil courts at the District and Sessions Court
at Alipore, it was observed that a Civil Judge (Junior Division) has to handle approximately 60-
65 cases/suits on average daily. This number is much higher for judicial magistrates (who deal
with criminal cases) touching almost 200 on average per day. Of the 60-65 cases/suits that
come up before the Civil Judge (Junior Division), around 10-15 are cases for which final
hearing is due, 15-20 for which substantial hearings of petitions are to be done (each of these
can range from around 15 minutes to a few hours) and the rest (30-35 cases/suits) which are
in different initial stages.
4.6 While most judicial officers we spoke to seem to agree on the requirement for more
number of courts and appointment of judges, they caution against indiscriminately setting up
of the same. It has been consistently pointed out to us that along with increasing the number
of courts set up, the administration should also pay attention to the case load in the different
areas/police station limits. Several examples have been given where a court has been
established in a town which has medium case load (thus reducing the burden on the existing
courts of that town to a lesser extent) while cities/towns with very high case load have not
been sanctioned more courts/judges. Also, it has been pointed out that along with setting up
new courts, the strength of the support staff needs to be increased. In many of the courts in
West Bengal, the situation is that the strength of the support staff has not been increased by
much in the last few decades (a lot of the sanctioned posts are lying vacant as well with
recruitment not having happened in the recent past) while the case load has increase many
times. As a result, it is an open secret that there are non-employees working in the court
helping the clerks and judges with various tasks such as filing, scheduling, etc. (Since these
people are not employees or the court but still need to be paid, it is anybody’s guess as to
how they are paid).[5]
4.7 This huge case load faced by the subordinate courts is further complicated by the
relationship between the High Court of the State and the lower courts. While the High Court
is strictly an appellate court when it comes to suits/cases which fall under the pecuniary and
territorial jurisdiction of the lower courts, the parties to these suits can always approach the
High Court alleging violation of their rights in the proceedings of the lower court and seeking
redressal of the same. These are either in the form of an appeal or revision. Most of these are
in form of revisions, wherein the High Court need not ask for reasoning and generally takes a
decision based on the facts available to it (either in the form of the case notes of the lower
court or submissions by the party in front of the High Court). In such a scenario, the High Court
might not go into great detail into the details of the case and there is a possibility of being
11
808
125736/2019/NM
swayed by misrepresentation by the party (Of course, in situations where said

misrepresentationis noticed, the penalties are severe and swift). As a result of this, in
situations where one of the parties is engaging in delay tactics trial court judges are reluctant
to issue orders penalizing the party responsible (as said party may approach the High Court
and obtain a stay order or revision which would delay the suit further). [5]
4.8 The other major issue which is hampering the speedy disposition of justice is the poor
infrastructure that the judiciary has to work with. The courtroom had files stacked all along
the walls and in every available space (within cupboards, on shelves, along the floor, even in
nooks and crannies). There are 4 wooden benches made available for sitting with 2 of the
benches being used by the two different parties and their respective lawyers (the other
2benches appear to be for the use of witnesses, observers, parties to other cases scheduled
for the day, etc.) There is one judge in every court, one peshkaar (court crier) who makes
pronouncements calling different parties or witnesses to the court, one stenographer and one
additional clerk. The files which are stacked in the court room as well as in the judges’
chambers that are in a very poor condition – with one of the clerks in a different court room
we spoke bemoaning the possibility of their being lost to termites/rats or rains.
4.9 The court proceedings are conducted in Bengali although the orders are recorded in
English and the records also maintained in English. There was a brief period in the early 2000s
when the orders were recorded in Bengali as well in accordance with a guidance issued by the
Calcutta High Court. But they have reverted to recording the proceedings in English since
then.
4.10 For the entire duration of the proceedings the court room was open (doors and
windows open). This meant that one could clearly hear the court criers of other court rooms
calling for the parties to be present, people gossiping and arguing in the halls, traffic on the
street, etc. All of this was clearly having an effect on the environment in the court room and
reflected in the behaviour of the lawyers, parties and clerks themselves. There were
numerous occasions when lawyers who were not arguing their case would walk in and speak
to the peshkaar or the other clerk (maybe in an attempt to get a favourable scheduling) or
chatting with each other and the clerks (there was an incident where the senior lawyer was
presenting the case to the judge and junior lawyer was chatting with the clerk – not discussing
but chatting).
4.11 The lack of professionalism or lack of fear of adverse consequences also encourages
parties to a case to not turn up for their hearings. Parties typically file ‘hazira’ before the court
on the morning of their hearing. ‘Hazira’ is akin to the parties marking their attendance in the
court. However, filing ‘hazira’ does not imply that the parties shall be present later during the
day when they are called on to present their case. In the two suits that we shall discuss, the
proceedings were adjourned on numerous occasions because either one of the parties of both
12
809
125736/2019/NM
the parties did not turn up (sometimes despite filing ‘hazira’). On such occasions, we believe
that the guidelines do not encourage the judges to impose penalties on the parties in the
interest of serving justice. However, it is this good natured intention that the parties take
advantage of and try to drag proceedings as long as possible if they feel they may end up with
an adverse judgement. This is one of the ways in which cases are delayed. Another is by
speaking to the clerk and getting the scheduling of the case postponed or delayed as much as
possible.
4.12 While all of the above mentioned points might seem like they require a long term
solution both in terms of physical infrastructure as well as change in the behaviour of the
court officials (lawyers and clerks), there are some minor modifications which we believe can
be undertaken and which could go a long way in smoothening the functioning of the court.
While each court room and judge’s chambers are equipped with a Personal Computers (PC),
we rarely found the judge or the clerk using the PC during the course of proceedings. Even
the scheduling of the cases was being done manually with the court diary being referred to
before fixing the date of the next hearing. We feel that using an automated process or a
software to do the scheduling would smoothen the process greatly while at the same time
allowing the judges to balance their work load on any given day (which would further reduce
the possibility of cases being adjourned due to large work load). At the same time, conducting
an HR audit of the legal system which would allow for the updating of the required number
of posts, notifying the increased requirement and conducting recruitment drives for these
posts would greatly help in reducing the burden on the existing judicial officers and support
staff. Apart from reducing the burden, it would also help in making the system more
impervious to graft and influence. [7]
5. Process Flow of a suit through the Court

5.1 While we have spent considerable time on trying to obtain a view of the problems that
are plaguing the judiciary on a macro-level, we will be hard placed to address these issues if
we the approach we take to solving these issues is purely from a macro-level. We need to put
forward solutions that are able to address the issues both at a policy level as well as from an
operational level on a day-to-day basis.
5.2 However, before we get into understanding the issues at the lower courts level as well
as trying to foresee possible complications in implementing solutions, we need to first
understand how the cases/suits make their way through the legal system. We will be looking
at the general path taken by a suit in the lower court. Once we understand the process as a
general case, we will look at a specific suit to see how the flowchart/process was followed in
that particular suit. [8]

Figure 1: Process Flow of a representative court case
5.3 As we can see from the flowchart above, the entire process from the filing of a suit
(also called a plaint) to the issue of judgement encompasses 11 steps. These steps are listed
below:
1. Plaint filed
2. Scrutiny of plaint
3. Registration of plaint
4. Admission of plaint
5. Summons issued to parties
6. Written Statements filed by the parties
7. Determination of issues
8. Examination and cross-examination of witnesses
9. Arguments by parties/lawyers
10. Judgement issued
11. Execution
5.4 The first four steps of this process comprise the stage of pre-admission where the
court is evaluating if the plaint is even to be admitted or to be straight-away dismissed. The
next 3 steps of the process are part of the pre-hearing stage. It is in stage 7 where the
determination of issues that need to be resolved in the suit are identified/finalised that
14
811
125736/2019/NM
parties may file interlocutory petitions with the court with various prayers such as dismissal
of the case, prayer for interim relief, petitions regarding locus standi, etc. The steps 8 to 10
comprise the actual stage of hearing where the learned judge listens to the evidence
presented by and arguments of the parties and/or their lawyers and issues a judgement based
on them.
5.5 Once the plaint is received by the court, scrutinised, the requisite fee paid and the
plaint has been admitted by the court, the court directs the issuance of summons to the
opposing party asking them to file a written statement within a particular duration of time.
The entire process of the suit now comes into its main stages with the majority of the
adjournments happening from this stage onwards. The pre-admission stages of suits are
purely administrative and there is not much delay happening at the pre-admission stage.
5.6 With a view to understand the movement of suits through the system and try to
identify that major causes for the adjournments granted and delay in deciding the suits, we
randomly selected two cases from the court of Civil Judge (Junior division), Alipore Court. We
shall look at the subject matter of the cases below with the actual proceedings of the cases
being summarized in the appendices. We shall also be presenting two other appendices,
where we will summarise the duration and number of adjournments classified according to
cause. [8]
6. The District Judge’s Court, South 24 Parganas District

6.1 The South 24 Parganas district was formed when the erstwhile 24 Parganas district
was divided into two parts – North 24 Parganas and South 24 Parganas – in March 1986.
Before the division, the 24 Parganas district was the largest district in terms of area in West
Bengal. After division, the South 24 Parganas division is the largest district in West Bengal in
terms of area. The South 24 Parganas district is also the second most populous district in the
state of West Bengal. [9]
6.2 The highest court in the South 24 Parganas district is the District Judge’s Court also
known as the Alipore Sadar District Court. These court premises which have been declared a
heritage structure are historical in nature with the buildings being the place where the trial
of Rishi Aurobindo Ghosh took place in the Alipore Bomb case (May 1908-1909).
6.3 The current project is focused on the cases randomly selected from this Alipore District
Court jurisdiction. A total of 125939 Civil Cases 210977 criminal cases are pending in South 24
Parganas district as on 20 Dec 2018 (National Judicial Data Grid (accessed on 20 Dec 2018).
The territorial jurisdiction of South 24 Parganas district court is shown in the table below:

7. Objective of the Study
7.1 Subordinate judiciary the first point of judicial access for the people and the problems
of judicial processes are felt the most. It is for this reason that our study is proposed to be
conducted at the subordinate court level and the cases are randomly selected from the Alipore
jurisdiction from the main documentation room. Our proposal proposes to study:
Study of Court processes and re-engineering opportunities for improving court efficiencies
for justice delivery in India
The study would focus on the following sub-themes:
a) Identifying the bottlenecks responsible for causing delay in disposal of civil cases
in courts and possible policy and procedural changes necessary for reduction of
pendency;
b) Study on court management techniques for improving the efficiency of
subordinate courts; and
c) Re-engineering procedure of process service for reducing delay in court
proceedings.
More specifically, the project Objective is:

1. Identifying the bottlenecks responsible for causing delay in disposal of civil cases
in courts and possible policy and procedural changes necessary for reduction of
pendency
a. To focus on a small set of bottleneck activities contributing to the court
delays for faster action
b. To focus on the policies which contribute to the court delay without
any significant impact on the decision making (quality)
2. Study on court management techniques for improving the efficiency of
subordinate courts
a. To identify and resolve operational, policy oriented and people related
issues in subordinate courts which led to the delay in overall case
resolution
3. Re-engineering procedure of process service for reducing delay in court
proceedings
a. To reduce the delay at all levels of the judiciary system, e.g. in
subordinate courts, district courts and constitutional courts etc.
b. To understand the impact on the identified processes because of
computerization in terms of change in processes and change in the
existing responsibilities of the stakeholders associated to the processes
These four interconnected issues have close bearing on the effectiveness of judicial processes.
The study shall analyze each topic and would attempt to prescribe systemic solution to
address both specific and general problems.

8. Methodology
8.1 The study used both quantitative and qualitative survey methods. The quantitative
survey comprised a court case survey (at court point) to fetch specific relevant information.
These responses allowing us to produce a richer analysis by identifying major delay types
along with both duration and frequency of delay [10]. Once we have identified the major
delay sources, a qualitative survey methodology is adopted to seek responses from both
litigants and lawyers to understand their views against the observation from case analysis.
8.2 The qualitative component of the research included Key Informant Interviews (KIIs),
in-depth interviews (IDIs), case studies, and a review of court documents in court [11]. A total
of 23 in depth Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) and 40 case studies of court cases (all of which
were closed with verdict delivered in between 2010 and 2013) and literature review of
relevant reports, project design document and court documents, were employed. Target
groups for the interviews were the two key stakeholders (litigant and lawyer) of the Indian
judiciary.

II. Findings from Case Research
9. Analysis of the Court cases and Types of functionalities identified
9.1 We analysed randomly selected 40 civil cases of different types from the 24 South
Parganas District Court jurisdiction to understand the reasons of case processing times and
delays in detail. Summary of each case is listed in the appendix. In this section, we provide a
snapshot by identifying major functionalities along with both duration and frequency of
functionality. The following tables summarize the duration of the functionalities and the
percentage contribution of each functionality.

9.3 From both tables and figures, it is evident that Court Functioning along with Requests
by litigants (plaintiff or defendant) primarily contribute to the case duration in delivering the
20
817
125736/2019/NM
judgment. We have defined court functioning as a broader reason bucket to cover those
reasons that cannot be specified within a particular source of delay. For examples, following
sub-categories are included in court functioning:
• Information delay: During the court proceedings, litigant is requested to provide
additional information to substantiate certain arguments. Providing this information takes
significant amount of time primarily because of two reasons: a) difficulty in obtaining the
desired information with very limited support from the court side and b) the party is
unwilling to divulge the information.
• Adjournment by the Presiding Officer: Presiding officer also adjourns multiple times for
various reasons that include seeking more information from both parties, requesting for
witnesses, etc.
• Long adjourned time period: The time period between two adjournments are significantly
longer than the average duration. There is no specific control that is exercised to reduce
the inter-adjournment time if sought intentionally by the litigant. This study found no
procedural understanding on the maximum idle time that forces all stakeholders to
expedite the process.
• Absence of witness and follow up action: In many situations, presiding officer has to wait
for a particular witness to appear and it takes longer time than expected. There are vested
interests that contribute to this delay without any corrective measure exercised by the
court.
9.4 In the next part, we have observed the average frequency of functionalities to
understand its recurrence pattern in one case. Following tables and figures summarize the
average number of times and percentage contribution to each functionality.
Table 4: Number of occurrences of delay types in cases observed

9.5 From the tables above, it can be concluded that maximum number of postponement
requests come from Court Functioning followed by requests from litigants. Awaiting
instruction from upper court is also a commonly cited reason as it is next to Court Functioning
in terms of average frequency. Similar information is illustrated in the pareto diagrams.

9.6 We further analyse the durations by segregating those in terms of regular duration
and delay (in weeks). From Table 6, we found that the average regular duration is 60 weeks
with a standard deviation of 50. If we take out the outliers by excluding the cases with more
than 100 weeks of duration, average duration reduces to 43 weeks with standard deviation
of 23. From those data points, we can infer that the regular duration of a case will vary from
40-60 weeks with 70% of the cases will be closed within a deviation of 20 weeks.
When we observe the delay duration in Table 7, we found that the average delay is 13 weeks
with the top three delay types as: i) presiding officer on leave, ii) Awaiting order/instructions
from High Court and iii) Scheduling error/holiday declared/strike. Top three delay types also
constitute 75% of the delay duration.

9.7 Guidelines on the case timeline from The Commercial Courts, Commercial Division
and Commercial Appellate Division of High Courts Act 2015
The Commercial Courts, Commercial Division and Commercial Appellate Division of High
Courts Act (hereinafter 'Act') 2015 was enacted to adjudicate on matters of commercial
disputes of specified value and matters which are related or connected to that issue.
In addition constituting separate Commercial Courts and Commercial Divisions and

Commercial Appellate Divisions, the Commercial Courts Act specifies strict timelines for
conduct of cases to ensure the speedy resolution of commercial disputes. The provisions of
the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 applicable to commercial disputes stand amended
(Schedule7 to the Commercial Courts Act).

The timeline provided for the Commercial Courts could be suitably amended classifying the
case based on its complexity and type. The provisions of the CPC 1908 could be suitably
26
823
125736/2019/NM
amended. This amendment should however restrain the higher courts interference restricted
to limited situations only.
A quick reference to CPC Order XVII: Adjournments also gives us the existing rules which is
seldom reflected in practice:
“1. Court may grant time and adjourn hearing
(1) The Court may, if sufficient cause is shown, at any stage of the suit grant time to the parties or to any of
them, and may from time to time adjourn the hearing of the suit.
(2) Costs of adjournment- In every such case the Court shall fix a day for the further hearing of the suit and
may make such order as it thinks fit with respect to the costs occasioned by the adjournment:
Provided that,-
(a) when the hearing of the suit has commenced, it shall be continued from day-to-day until all the
witnesses in attendance have been examined, unless the Court finds that, for the exceptional reasons to be
recorded by it, the adjournment of the hearing beyond the following day is necessary.
(b) no adjournment shall be granted at the request of a party, except where the circumstances are
beyond the control of that party,
(c) the fact that the pleader of a party is engaged in another Court, shall not be, a ground for
adjournment,
(d) where the illness of a pleader or his inability to conduct the case for any reason, other than his being
engaged in another Court, is put forward as a ground for adjournment, the Court shall not grant the
adjournment unless it is satisfied that the party applying for adjournment could not have engaged another
pleader in time,
(e) where a witness is present in Court but a party or his pleader is not present or the party or his pleader,
though present in Court, is not ready to examine or cross-examine the witness, the Court may, if it thinks fit,
record the statement of the witness and pass such orders as it thinks fit dispensing with the examination-in-
chief or cross-examination of the witness, as the case may be, by the party or his pleader not present or not
ready as aforesaid.
2. Procedure if parties fail to appear on day fixed
Where, on any day to which the hearing of the suit is adjourned, the parties or any of them fail to appear, the
Court may proceed to dispose of the suit in one of the modes directed in that behalf by Order IX or make such
other order as it thinks fit.”
9.8 Using the insights by studying the set of diverse cases, we proceed to the next step
by interviewing litigants and lawyers with relevant questions. This helps us to take their
views to understand the issues in detail.
27
824
125736/2019/NM
10. Findings from the Stakeholders’ Survey

10.1 We have used two separate questionnaires for litigants and lawyers with questions focused
on the issued identified after case research. Overall 23 respondents replied to the questionnaire. We
have approached significant number of litigants and lawyers but most of them were hesitant to
respond because of the nature of questionnaire and for confidentiality reasons. Detailed numbered
questionnaires are provided in the appendix.
11. Findings from the Litigants survey
11.1 In India, perceived judicial reluctance may lead to the belief among the litigants that
“Law is nothing but the convenience of the powerful” (comment as received from one of
litigants). Another litigant complained that law should be equal for all sections of the society,
yet it runs parallel between two different sections of the society – one for the rich and the
resourceful and the other for the small men with no resources at all. This comments received
are in line with the objective of this project to eradicate the delay in justice delivery process
as “justice delayed is justice denied”. Large backlog of cases have not only resulted in justice
delay but a long pending resolution of such cases have been creating frustration within the
society as well causing inevitable abuse and lack of trust on the system and policymaking at
large.
The Basic Profile of the litigants:

11.2 The survey was conducted among 15 nos. of litigants who are facing delay in court
proceedings in South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal. The distinctive characteristics of
the litigants showed that they
• had a dominant gender profile (87% male)

• were more likely to be aged with 35-44 and 55-64 years (aggregate 54%)
• were dominated by relationship status as married (60%)

Observations related to Court Process
11.9 87% of the litigants agreed that there is a delay in court proceedings. The major source
of court delay where severity is very high is found because of ‘request for time’ by defendant
and other petitions pending to be heard. Awaiting order or instructions from High Court is
another source of court delay but severity in this case is low as found. However, only 40% of
the litigants file an appeal to High Court. The graphical illustration as well as histogram

11.10 The last sub-figure in Figure 17: Number of litigant responses to various court performance
parameters (refer litigant questionnaire for detailed questions) summarizes the delay types as
perceived by the litigants.
Reasons for adjournments
11.11 The primary reason stated by most litigants is the absence of judges in most cases.
Either they are busy, on leave or being transferred. In such cases the litigant is given another
date. Sometimes the litigant is not able to be present on most dates, the lawyers are found
to use this lacunae of the system as one frequent reason for the adjournment. Apart from
these causal reasons, it has been noted by some litigants that the judge, even being present
in the court has to give another date for hearing or for disposal of petition. The reasons are
no adverse order, but lawyer being busy because he has other case in other courts, hearing
of one particular case has taken more time than usual so no time is left for the hearing of
other cases, etc.
- Sometimes the pre- announced dates would again undergo changes because of the
excuses given by the other side or opposition party. Usually the reasons stated are that
40
837
125736/2019/NM
the senior is absent, the client couldn’t be present for the hearing because he stays out of
time, some annexures need to be attached, there are smaller petitions pending that needs
to be disposed off, etc.
- Multiple cases are filed by the same person, record from the previous cases need to be
annexed filing of same cases in the higher court for revision are also reasons that delay
the initial / main case to a great extent. In some cases it takes years for the previous
records to be retrieved from the lower court record room because they are not indexed
and maintained properly. Policymaking has also led to the growth of cases, thus filing of
multiple cases delay the process which usually leads to compromise by both parties. Thus,
no justice is received by both the parties and the frustration due to judicial delay ask the
parties to settle “out of the court”. But many a times there is no compromise, hence the
lawsuit lingers.
- At times delay is also from the litigant’s part because there might be some latent /hidden
benefit that has led to filing of the cases. Thus they file cases to drag them.
- Since the lawyers are also colleague cum friends, sometimes they plan and take steps
accordingly without the conscious agreement or knowledge of the litigant.
- Court holidays have also been considered as a nuisance by all the litigants because they
end up getting 5- 6 dates in a year at most which is one of the lingering causes for the
pendency of the cases. In lower courts a total of 220 working days with huge backlog of
cases has been creating frustration and disappointments across all sections of the society.
11.12 Thus it is important to understand that there is a need for high level of contribution
from the Government to improvise on the systems of judiciary. More commitment, improved
and well implemented policies as well as less political biases would definitely eradicate the
problem of neglect that litigants are complaining in the hands of a system. Based on litigant’s
responses, primary recommendation involves to eradicate the non-value added activity by
developing automation opportunities with the following details:
• Develop online support systems with a focus on following objectives:

- Create a repository of structured institutions that offer value added services to the
litigants with reasonable cost. It may follow marketplace model with customer
reviews, etc.
- Provide an access of basic forms online.
- Develop an automated translation service from English to native language and vice-
versa.
- Upload videos with a detailed walk-through of how to fill up basic forms.
- Standardize the notary services to facilitate litigants by saving their time and money.
- Create a repository of legal terms and their meaning.
- Develop a process flow of court proceedings throughout the lifecycle of a case and
publish it online so that litigants are well aware of the processes involved.
41
838
125736/2019/NM
- Photocopying requirements of many documents should be reviewed as the whole

system is getting digitized.
- Process followed to decide the hearing dates should be reviewed and an automated
process should be developed. A policy level discussion may follow to avoid the delay.
11.13 Automation with online access may be well accepted by the litigants as most
of them (80%) are well-educated and access court websites very frequently. Initially the
content may be developed in English and then multi-lingual website may be developed.
Litigants primarily use tablets or mobile phones to access those websites and the pages
should be user friendly from tablet or mobile phone apart from desktops. Court may also
work on delivering certain regular formalities over online platform of communication, i.e.
WebEx etc., instead of asking everyone to be physically present to reduce effort and time
of litigants. Along with automation, some process level streamlining should be done to
reduce time for filing a petition or to transfer a case from one court to another. The policy
level implications should be understood before going for process changes.

12. Findings from the Lawyers survey
12.1 Indian legal system observes delays in the court cases that does affect the fairness and
efficiency of the judicial system which in turn weakens the democracy, the rule of laws and
enforcement of those laws. For decades, it has been seen that lawyers have primarily been
the agents who link the requirements of the litigants to the suitability of the legal procedures
being installed by the legal system. The problem of overload and arrears in each case may
contribute to long delays primarily because the situations and contexts underlying a particular
case needs to be dealt with precision of understanding them, before arriving at an
authoritative and just decision. This is time consuming and expedition is never guaranteed.

Reasons for adjournment

12.6 Absence of presiding officers has been stated as one of the prime reasons for
adjournment in the court functioning processes. Since he is the presiding officer, every
decision needs his attestation for the order to be put into effect. The vacancies not being filled
by proper recruitment process has been stated by few of the lawyers. Exclamations have been
made on the inefficiency and bad time management of the judges as well as their biased
attitude towards few cases. For e.g. - the lawyers continue to take long dates so as to cover
the tenure of the current judge (the tenure of a judge is for a period of 2-3 years ) and present
the case afresh to the new judge.
12.7 Since advocates have to deal with multiple cases at the same time they can’t be
present everywhere, hence some cases have to delay so that pertinent ones can be
immediately attended.
12.8 Adjournments are also asked when lower court record for the previous case needs to
reach the courtroom without which there can’t any proceeding.
12.9 Requests from the lawyers like the ‘senior is not well’ or the opposition party is ‘out
of the state or country’ or evidence not able to come or be presented or proper documents
and exhibits needs to be attached as annexures or some smaller petition is still pending which
needs to be disposed before moving to the main case.
12.10 Holidays and vacations also leads to court adjournments thus leading to subsequent
delays.
13 Observations related to Court Process

13.1 The major source of court delay (severity of delay is very high) is found because of
unavailability (busy/on leave/on transfer order) of Presiding Officer and multiple case
handling by lawyers. Non filing of penalty and show cause not given are two major sources of
court delay but severity in this case is found low. Most of the lawyers appealed multiple times
to the High court and most of time High court takes 10-15 days to respond to the appeal
raised. 87% of the lawyer agreed that there are many situations when the adjournments are
48

denied and the court gives stipulated time to resolve the issues. 88% of the lawyers agreed
that there is specific process followed for the trial dates from court and 29% lawyers agreed
that they would like to receive the trial dates online through an automated process by
checking availability of all concerned stakeholders. The graphical illustration of the above

litigants, most of the lawyers (75%) also agreed about the usefulness of providing information
portal to save time. As per lawyer’s recommendation, following services can be provided to
reduce the effort and time:
- Information about court decorum and processes

- Language translation services
- Automated services include notary services, guide to fill out the form, access to form
repository etc.
- Automated hearing schedule to increase efficiency and transparency by reducing
manual intervention
- Identifying the bottlenecks in administrative process and employing professionals
with suitable skillset for process streamlining
- An awareness drive to make litigants informed about their rights, roles and
responsibilities

III. Conclusion & Recommendations
Long delays in processing cases are common in the Indian judicial system. This problem exists
despite the fact that for more than 60 years judges, lawyers, and policymakers in India have
experimented with ways to speed the processing of civil and criminal cases. Delay reduction
programs, however, needs to be checked at micro level rather than providing general
prescriptions for major causes of delay.
Reasons for delay:
• The primary reason for delay as explained by most of the lawyers is lack of sufficient
judges. Since judges are holding the autonomy to pass a judgement for disposal of cases,
they are the ultimate decision makers. But since they are an integral part of the court
management system, they are also responsible for the administrative duties and
responsibilities which includes, disposal of interim petitions, transfer orders, busy with
other cases or court related work etc. Also there are delays related to the appointment of
judges which is a very cumbersome process as stated by most of them because its time
and opportunity costs are high.
• The second reason is poor infrastructure as stated by few lawyers. Due to less court rooms
and high pendency of cases (both old and fresh cases), the problem of multiple dates for
disposal of one case is an inevitable problem.
• There is a pertinent problem of inadequate court staff who are responsible for the
maintenance and protection of court documents as well as to guide the lawyers and
litigants to the whereabouts of their cases. The problems of absenteeism, low
commitment towards their work, short duration transfers and lack of administrative
training has been intermittently contributing to the long delays as well. Also the
courtroom requires professional people with a knowledge of Information Technology to
streamline the process.
• Technology is a very important and the most required component to bring drastic change
in the lower courts which is followed by Supreme Court and high courts in India. Massive
cases are lying in the court rooms which still need to be replaced by digitisation. For e.g.
– in some civil cases it has been seen that the lower court record (LCR) takes years to reach
the respective court room, because the records are not yet found by the personnel in the
record room. Most cases have many interim petitions and other smaller cases added to
them which requires to be disposed off before moving to the main case. Thus lack of
adequate technology is leading to higher pendency of cases.
• There is a huge delay due to the processes of court functioning which results from the
litigants occurring during the trial stage namely non-attendance of witnesses, non-
appearance of lawyers, lengthy oral arguments, arbitrary adjournments, delayed
judgments.
51
848
125736/2019/NM
• Lastly, cases are dragged by either of the party in some cases because there is a greater
profit / benefit that is available on filing a case, hence misused by litigants or lawyers at
times. Thus the legal system is sometimes misused by frivolous litigation. There are also
delays whenever appeals are filed by litigants on matters of fact or matters of law , causing
delay at the appellate stage . Moreover, during the execution stage also some form of
delay does happen for instance in eviction cases related to urban property, delays are
caused by successive attempts to obstruct delivery.
Recommendation (litigant’s side)
• The court administration and other personnel are equally responsible for the
adjournments, having their individual contributions in the cases as a whole. Thus proper
training and recruitment of more focussed and efficient personnel can lead to less of
carelessness and more of seriousness from their side. Many of them can also be
outsourced to meet the growing requirement of handling multiple cases and the backlogs.
They should follow some code of honesty and sincerity towards their work.
• Lawyers are mostly willing to file multiple cases within the radar of one lawsuit because
this is their business. But the judges have the authority to accept or reject such petitions
after careful perusal or may be dispose of the petition within a week’s time. Thus putting
limit caps on the duration of smaller petitions can definitely help the litigants to a great
extent.
• Digital technology has reached its peak in every aspect of our lives hence it should replace
the manual labour that still operates within the congested and overcrowded rooms of
lower courts leading to lesser paper filing and more sorted digitisation of cases. The court
rooms needs to be cleaned and infrastructure needs to be expanded to house large
number of cases that are being already filed and are being filed every day. Online tracking
and monitoring of cases by a central information system of the court could be helpful.
Many more fast-track courts are required even if they would be premium pay based - at
least judgement will be delivered, more judges or a body to take decisions should be there
to monitor the cases online, time based settlement and clustering of same cases can lead
to easy facilitation.
• More judges need to be recruited to fill up the vacancies and meet the court’s demands.
No room should lie vacant, moreover, all the cases that need to be heard on a particular
date should be heard on the same day and not being given an adjournment, to be heard
on the next date.
• The number of courts should increase in the country, the financial structure of the cases
should be decided on so that poor people can afford the services and also get judgement.
There should be a centralized fee collection centre for filing and other documentation,
judges should be requested to finish up the whole process within a stipulated time and to
follow the orders from the higher court, one court should manage every detail,
petitioner's should have the right to change the court in case he or she is not satisfied,
52
849
125736/2019/NM
court rooms need to be well managed and maintained, government should make website
for general people which will help in the most authentic way.
• Increasing the court working hour may be considering as a possibility. By this, the
recommendation is not to increase the duty hour of a presiding officer but to offer support
services for longer duration to reduce the time spent inside the courtroom. Issues like
overlapping of hearing dates, online information sharing about the presence / absence of
presiding officer and rescheduling of court date with shorter dates should partially tackle
the inconvenience faced by the litigants. Total expenditure of the case should be
structured -like what happens in private hospital vs Government.
Recommendation (lawyer’s side)
• There is need to enhance judicial administration and the judges being the key personal
must be trained and equipped so that they may acknowledge the importance of process
change requirements for their own benefit. This would involve providing training
programmes for judges and court official to increase efficiency in their respective job roles
and duties.
• More judges should be recruited, thereby increasing the number of sanctioned judges to
fill up the vacancies.
• As of now, judges do not have specific incentive to reduce the duration of justice delivery
and their primary focus remains on consistency of decision-making process. Other
stakeholders use this opportunity to make the process delayed. The sufferers are the
people who file cases and have to spend money without knowing deadlines. Also, bigger
cases (cases involving greater stakes) can be given special courts, that way it can lead to
speedy delivery of judgement.
• Judgements from the higher courts should be considered and implemented by judges
which usually they tend to keep aside and accept stay order from the aggrieved. In many
cases judges are not comfortable to give an adverse order hence they keep giving orders
on interim petition and the first case/ main case remains isolated. If both parties can
provide their respective arguments in written form, it would definitely lead to fastening
of the judgement by the judge.
• Most of the courts should imbibe the operating principles of fast track courts those work
especially during the trial stage where maximum delay is caused. A period of 5 years
should be fixed for the disposal of cases, putting limit caps to case duration. Thus, if “last
chance” is given to one party it should be considered seriously by all the stakeholders.
• Furthermore, the Indian lower courts do not rely on an extensive use of technical aids .
Especially the importance of computerization of courts should not be overlooked.
Information technology, for instance, has helped to diminish arrears in the Supreme Court
in two important ways. First, the computerized court registry has listed all pending cases
in chronological order. Listed matters have been taken up sequentially, leaving no room
53
850
125736/2019/NM
for arbitrary decisions. Second, when a judge is absent, the cases are immediately
transferred to other judges, making sure that similar cases are assigned to the same
judges.
• The working days of judges and other court officials needs to be increased on an average.
Due to strikes and holidays the lower courts functions for a period of 220 to 240 days or
less. This leads to delay in cases a whole. Also, it should be noted that the problem of
multiple cases (a court date is assigned after 2 months hence 4 to 5 dates in a year) , their
complexities and lesser working days leads to increase in case duration. Implementing
such cultural changes in particular can be difficult because they require changes in the
way people work.
Considering the recommendations received from the sides of both litigant and lawyer, we
summarize our discussion by segregating the recommendations into three broad categories:
People, Process, Policy and Technology. This classification helps us to understand the
implementation focus of recommendations.

APPENDIX 1
Case 1: Suit No. 54 of 2003

Suit No. 54 of 2003 is a civil suit filed by the landlord of a property requesting for the eviction
of his tenant from a rent controlled property. The suit was filed by Shri Nawal Kishore Singh
who is the petitioner (and also the landlord) against the opposing party (and tenant) Shri
Kamta Prasad Shaw on 1 August 2003. The value of the suit was mentioned as Rs. 500. This
value which the petitioner claims is very important as it determines the pecuniary jurisdiction
of the court. The petitioner requested the court to allow for the eviction of the tenant as the
tenant was a habitual defaulter on his rent obligations and (equally importantly) the
petitioner was in need of the property leased out by him for the accommodation of his own
family (details of which were provided in the petition filed). The plaint filed by the petitioner
details (as is required by law) the property in question including the address, the nature of
how the petitioner came to own the property, the nature of the relationship with the
opposing party, grievances against the opposing party, requirements of the petitioner
supporting the prayer to the court, whether the petitioner has taken any action against the
opposing party (and the provisions according to which said action was taken) and finally the
prayer for specific relief being made by the petitioner.
This suit which we are studying in greater detail is one which is generally long drawn out due
to its being an eviction suit. A decision in favour of the landlord might render the tenant
homeless and a decision in favour of the tenant might be severely damaging to the source of
income of the landlord. Hence the courts generally proceed very carefully when handling suits
of this nature. This particular suit is further complicated by the fact of the property in question
being a rent controlled property. This means that the property is governed by more
regulations than those that generally govern a leased property.
As mentioned above, we shall outline the proceedings of this suit in the Appendix. We shall
also summarise the duration & number of adjournments and classify them with respect to
the causes for adjournment.

defendant. The defendants are the recorded owner of the said property which is under contention
now named as suit premises. That the suit premises situate at the adjacent eastern side of the
plaintiff’s property. The plaintiff requested the defendant to provide him with an accommodation for
the purpose of the plaintiff’s business of building materials as a tenant but the defendants demanded
substantial money and refused to grant any record for tenancy. The defendants had to accept the
tenancy in garb of license after signing a purported license agreement prepared by the defendants.
The defendants had to sell off the rooms to the plaintiff at an amount of 20k and would take a loan of
30k out of which he would pay the remaining 20k . Incase the defendants aint able to pay the sum of

plaintiff , this defendants 1 and 2 and the defendant. The proforma defendant submits that he
received payment of Rs. 30000 from the plaintiff of this suit but he didnot disclose the facts of payment
to the original creditor. Subsequently these defendants gave a declaration on 17.10.89 wherein this
defendant was a signatory. The defendant deny of allegation by the plaintiff that the defendants are
supposed to pay any money to plaintiff and that they deny the allegations as well as the fact that they
have received money from defendant.

Defendant no 2’s petition is put up for
hearing. Perused the petition and put up
19-8-93 for order
19-8-93 Record is put up today for order relating

the petition files by defendant no 2. The
petition states about some allegations and
also alleges of not getting share form the
rental income and submits that the
receiver should be appointed to realise the
taxes and rents from the tenants. The
instant petition has been objected by the
plaintiff no1 denying the material
allegations contending inter alias that the
income of the suit property is much higher
than what has been stated in the petition
and next allegation is that the defendant
enjoyed the entire income of the suit
property. This is one of the reasons for
filling the instant suit for partition and in
such circumstances she prays for the
dismissal of the petition.
Heard advocates of both the sides. Perused
the contentions. Of the petition filed by
both the parties. The primary thing which
has been looked in to before a receiver to
see how best the suit property could be
preserved without being wasted. The
established principle in law as evident
which should be given due consideration
before appointment of a receiver is that
the petitioner must show that some
immediate action is needed.
In the instant case it appears that
protection of the suit property is necessary
and it is also desirable that realisation of
261
1058
125736/2019/NM
rent and payment of taxes are also

necessary for preservation of the suit
property and it is the specific case of the
plaintiffs that both the parties are coshares
of the suit property and in such
circumstances it seems necessary to pass
an order regarding appointment of one
receiver only for the limited purpose of
realization of rent and for payment of the
taxes for the suit property.
Order – that the application is allowed on
contest with no order as to cost. Let Shri
Mohan Sau(Defendant no 2) be appointed
as receiver in respect of the suit property
who will realise the rent from the tenants
and pay taxes and will submit a report
thereof quarterly in court regarding
income and expenditure of the property.
As the receiver himself is the petitioner no
order for remuneration is passed.

Defendant – Goutam kumar Bakshi & Biswanath Bakshi
The Plaintiff has come up with this petition for drawing up final degree and for sell of the
mortgage property. Considered the petition and materials on record, it transpires from the
record that the suit was decreed on contest in preliminary form with a direction to make
payment of the detrital amount by 10 instalments. It is alleged by the plaintiff that the
defendant did not make the payment of the said decreetal amount as per direction from
court. As such plaintiff has come with this petition. Since defendant did not make the payment
of the dues in terms of the order passed in the suit, it is required for drawing of final degree
and in that even I am inclined to allow the petition. Hence it was ordered that the preliminary
degree passed on 11.4.94 in this suit be made absolute. That the mortgaged and charged
property in the aforesaid preliminary degree or a part of thereof be sold and for the purpose
of such sell the plaintiff shall produce before this court within 15 days from this order all
documents in its possession relating to the mortgaged and charged properties. It is further
declared that the money realised by such sell shall be deposited in court (after deduction) the
expenses of the sell and the same shall be applied for the payment of the decreetal amount
and upon the payment of interest of the plaintiff in terms of preliminary degree. It is further

ordered that after such payment to the plaintiff of any amount is found in excess and lies in
depositing with the court, the said amount would be returned to the defendant.

Suit No. 56 of 1986

Suit No. 56 of 1986 is a civil suit filed by the joint owner of a property against other owners
for partitioning the suit property ascertaining his share or sale of the suit property in his
favour if property cannot be partitioned by metes and bounds. The suit was filed by Sri
Debasish Bose who is legally entitled to 1/5th of the property share against the other legal
heirs – Sri Krishnasish Bose, Sm Kamala Bala Debi, Sri Ajit kumar Das, Sm Arati Tribedi on 14
June 1986. The parties herein are not able to enjoy the respective shares equally nor they are
getting shares of the rent and profits of the joint property according to their own share. Thus
the plaintiff filed the suit for partitioning the property by metes and bounds, and if it fails then
for a final degree selling the property as per Commissioner’s report. The value of the suit was
mentioned at INR 16000. This value which the petitioner claims is very important as it
determines the pecuniary jurisdiction of the court.
Land Details – land measuring 10 Chittaks 32 square feet along with 3 storeyed building on
the ground floor, 1 room attached covered verandah, bath and privy, and one room on the
mezzanine floor room, 2 rooms bath and privy, covered verandha on the first floor, one room
and open terrace on 2nd floor being butted and bounded by house of Santosh Kumar on North,
Passage on west, House of Kalyan on South and East.
This suit which we are studying in greater detail is one which is generally long drawn out due
to its being an eviction suit. A decision is favour of partition of the land will render the
subdivisions useless for being small in size, and selling of property to unknown people will
incorporate disputes. As mentioned above, we shall outline the proceedings of this suit in the

Case No.38
Title Suit No. 333 of 2000 (1st Civil Judge of Jr. Division Alipore)
Background:
Plaintiff: Prasanta Chatterjee
Defendant: Anirban Majumdar and others (Original Defendant Priyatosh Majumdar died long
back as per record dt. 05/03/2003.
Plaintiff and original Defendant (since deceased) along with the son of original defendant,
were partners of M/s Chatterjee Co., and M/s P.K. Chatterjee and Co. The major issue of
contention has been the difference of opinions regarding business policy.
Partnership business was dissolved and dissolution of Partnership Deed was executed by and
between the partners of the firms on 30/08/1999. After dissolution Anirban Majumdar did
not take any liability while the plaintiff took all the liabilities and outstanding debt of the firm.
The plaintiff have taken a loan of Rs. 11,12,662/- and the defendant 1 took responsibility for
the payment of the said money through plaintiff by issue of Post-dated cheques in the name
of defendant 1. Plaintiff issued 30 PDCs with first payment scheduled on 12/10/1999.
However, Dulal Kanti Majumdar, one of the creditors, filed a Money Suit for Rs.45000/- for
realization of his dues from plaintiff and his company along with Anirban Majumdar, but
Anirban is not contesting the suit as he has retired from partnership business. He took the
responsibility of paying the dues to Dulal Majumdar as per writings dt. 06/09/1999, by
encashing the PDC issued by plaintiff. The defendant encashed considerable amount but did
not pay any outstanding dues to any creditor. Thus the plaintiff accused that the defendant 1
intentionally put the plaintiff in trouble and only wanted to get the money via cheating.
291
1088
125736/2019/NM
Further, defendant 1 joined hands with creditors to put the plaintiff in further trouble and the
plaintiff’s goodwill was also hampered causing trouble in business transactions. The plaintiff
hence filed the suit demanding permanent injunction so that the defendant cannot encash
any post-dated cheques.

Analysis and Conclusion:

So, ultimately the plaintiff lost the case due to insufficient evidences and poor arguments.
After analyzing the case it has been found that the case continued for almost 9 ½ years and
293
1090
125736/2019/NM
one of the major reasons has been the fact that the original defendant died while the case
was still going on. Since his son stepped up as defendant 2, a lot of formal paper works and
re-arrangements needed to be done and the case history shows that the defendant has been
irregular on multiple occasions, missed the hearing dates on several times to the extent that
he had to be finally show caused and penalized by the honorable judge. Also there have been
issues with incomplete paper works on multiple occasions. In a few instances, even the
plaintiff was absent on the hearing date. In a couple of other extraordinary situation, there
has been a strike by the lawyers, while on one occasion the judge felt sick as well. Apart from
that there are huge gaps between two hearing dates which account for the summer vacation,
festival vacation which continues for over a month solely for the judiciary system. Hence, we
can conclude that while partly the delay can be attributed to the flaws and malfunctioning of
regular judiciary operations, majority of the delay has been due to the extensions and absence
on the part of the defendant, which can also be a strategy to collect better evidences and
buying out time to further strategize their next move. And surprisingly, the final decree shows
that somewhat the defendant was successful in following such a plan.
