The report, “ >New database of High Courts unearths a 57-year-old case ”(May 4), is not astonishing but inevitable given the way the judiciary has been functioning all this while with its British-style legacy. Rather than wait for more such news reports, there needs to be concerted action to find a solution. To begin with, the judiciary can be asked to start working extra and on holidays to clear the massive backlog of cases.

How can a 57-year-old case go unnoticed? Why can’t courts go in for computerisation of all activities? Innovative ways such as having a second shift in courts and more mobile courts can help get the situation under control.
Delayed justice is no justice at all.
