India's judicial system, often a subject of scrutiny for its perceived sluggishness, has emerged asa central point of contention regarding its influence on the nation's evolving economic landscape.
This paper conducts a thorough examination of India's judicial system, specifically addressing the escalating backlog of cases in the Supreme Court, High Courts, and District Courts. The study delves into the significant implications this backlog holds for the country's economic prosperity. The historical background and constitutional mandates for timely justice underscore the significance of the issue. The analysis of pendency in the Supreme Court, High Courts, and District Courts reveals a troubling pattern of judicial delay, with backlogs consistently increasing over the years. Over a ten-year period, encompassing data from 2012 to 2022, this study endeavors to establish correlations and regression models that illuminate the relationship between indicators of judicial efficiency, including average case disposal time and case backlog, and economic performance, as evidenced by GDP growth.
