Our Legal And Judicial formation is very good but it is not applied in a proper manner. First of all there must be disposal time limit of any cases submitted to the Judicial platform. If it is not followed and case disposal does not done within time period than there must be a penalty to be imposed upon Judges. If it is followed strictly than only our Legal system will come over from the burden of number of cases. Second thing. Number of judges are very few against our country population and case pending. So new judges must be appointed for the smooth work. And every one must follow the working time period as given than only our system will be improved. Jai Hind... more  
Indian police Forces is to be just like Indian Military Forces when only there will be some body as Supreme to carry Justice . more  
ALL COURT ROOM ( LOWER COURT TO HIGHER COURT) should be under CCTV monitoring. more  
(1) Root Causes Identified: 10. Police doesn’t want to file FIRs because then they become accountable (2) 19. Corrupt nexus between lawyers and judiciary in the lower courts. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? more
