Investigating the Effects of the Delayed Judicial System on the Resolution of Criminal and Civil Cases

Abstract

t study investigated the potential effects of a delayed system of justice on the way criminal and civil cases are resolved. Due to several problems with the procedure of justice, one of the most pressing problems in Pakistan is how civil matters are handled. Land disputes between landlords and peasants were the exclusive focus of the current investigation. For this reason, 31 respondents, including respondents and petitioners who participated in the drawn-out process were interviewed in order to gather data using the purposive sample technique. The investigation concluded that the procedure of judiciary is ineffective, expensive, and uninteresting to the general public. To address these issues, this inspection suggested significant institutional changes to the current legal system.
