In the legal arena throughout the world the proposition was earlier that justice delayed is justice denied but with the lapse of time attitude of people has been changed and now any delay in the disposition of justice is regarded as injustice to persons seeking justice before the court of law. The researchers found that even if all the courts ranging from the court of the magistrates to the Supreme Court stop accepting any new case from today then also it will require another 50 years to clear up the backlogs. The situation is not different in the district courts of various jurisdictions where number of pending cases is around two millions. In Bangladesh in the Supreme Court alone more than half a million cases of different nature have remained pending for years. Court congestion resulting from delay in disposal of cases is a serious problem for the countries like Bangladesh as well as other countries of the world. Where it should take one to two years for the disposal of a civil suit, a case is dragged for 10 to 15 years, or even more. Praying for justice, the parties become part of a long, protracted and torturing process, not knowing when it will end. Delay in our judiciary has reached a point where it has become a factor of injustice, a violator of human rights.
