Courts must accept the discipline that over 95% of the cases will
be settled in less than treble the average pendency.
The listing of cases should be done by a computer program, with
judges having the discretion to override it in only 5% cases for
very urgent matters. Such a program should be developed with the
inputs and judges and lawyers. It is necessary to understand that
the present system is completely arbitrary and the principle of
First In First Out would be fairer than the current one. Besides
in 5% cases the judicial override could still function.
If these are followed, most cases would be disposed in a court in less than a year and
justice and equity delivered in the courts.
