There certainly are flaws in the Indian laws that may appear stupid, dated, draconian, contradictory, open to abuse and sometimes even funny and it is high time we get rid of such absurdities to make the legal system robust, says economist, columnist and author Bibek Debroy. He was speaking at a lecture organised by Moneylife Foundation in Mumbai.

When the Cooperative Act - was recently formulated, they mentioned central government in most parts of the Act whereas as per the Constituiion of India and in legal parlance it should have been mentioned as Union of India. The rigour with which Laws have to be framed and the comprehensiveness of the Act from its applicability for decades to come demands that the framers of the Laws should have vision and foresight. Most beaurocrats would like to have solutions akin to capsules and are not bothered with giving comprehensive solutions to endemic problems plaguing the subjects of such Law.

I know of one specific property dispute case involving my grandfather. He won in the lowest court (early 60s) and then in the high court, but did not live to see the final verdict delivered by the Supreme Court in 1985. He went twice to Delhi for the hearings and suffered a serious stroke (in his second visit) in the heat of Delhi --- which left him paralyzed and eventually caused his death in 1982.
That case (Sulakhe, 1985, when the Chief Justice was P.N. Bhagwati) is now used as a benchmark for making decisions related to other property disputes. What an irony!

77th Law Commission Report
DELAY AND ARREARS IN TRIAL COURTS
http://lawcommissionofindia.nic.in/51-10...
Frequent adjournments must be discouraged. Whenever a case is adjourned, the judicial officer must state the reason for adjournment in the records.
Al our law courts must be computerized and linked to the internet. Whenever a case is adjourned the litigant must know why it was adjourned through the click of a mouse.
Computerization is a panacea for delays in trial courts.
Why can't the copy of judgement be made available to the litigant/ lawyer immediately after the pronouncement of order/ judgement?
This is the age of computer. then why the Carbon Copy?
Why should a litigant or lawyer file a petition for getting a copy of the order/judgment, since it is a public document?
Hope Team Modi will bring in Judicial administrative reforms
The demand from a MOS from the PMO for scrapping Article 370 for J&K is fully justified too.
