A Tale of Delayed Justice in Pakistan

Abstract

Pakistan judicial system has many flaws. The one we are discussing in this thesis is delay in justice. There is saying ‘‘Justice delayed is justice denied”. A society cannot be run with injustice. Delay in justice is also injustice. A healthy society needs prevailed justice. Bulks of cases in our courts also play part in delay justice. Lack of facilities and economics incentive also take part in dealing justice. Transfer of judges from court to court is also factor in delaying justice. Delay is product of different factor which are complex manner. Basically, judges and lawyers work together in collaboration to achieve single goal of dispensation of justice at reasonable speed. Thus, to increase the number of appearances in court room lawyers wants adjournment to manage their workload and same cases is with the judges they have to manage their workload so they grant adjournment. There are technical problems in the ministerial staff so that the ratio of corruption and non-use of modern techniques is also a source of delay justice in Pakistan.
