Justice delayed is justice deniedBy: dinesh | Saturday , 4 Jul '09 11:37:53 AM Reply | Forward Dear Srinivasan,My thoughts precisely. But this article was published so that Mr Sorabjee could do some apple polishing. Mr Sorabjee - when one talks of fundamental rights in law - I am a layman - do we talk about the fundamental rights of the individual being infringed or is it the fundamental right of a particular section of the society (marginalized sections).

For sixty years if the number of cases pending in courts keep on climbing the appointment of a single person to the post of Solicitor general or not does not matter. We require a system which can clear the backlog and at the present state of affairs all the backlog will take four centuries to clear.Neither I will be alive not Sorabjee will be nor the Westminster system of representative government -- the indian version!!!Are we doing this exercise to inform the public or are we also joining the show biz !!!!! The country misses people like Nani palkhivala. Vahanvati was promoted because he saved the government's face!!!! The reforms in judiciary are priority not the who's who
