Dear Editor,
- "Delay condoned. Leave granted. There shall be no stay of the directions given by the learned single judge vide order dated 12-1-2010 passed in SB CWP NO 6676 of 1998 and connected matters " Thus spoke the SC order.
- Some opined that LIC in their reply would take shelter under the gracious appeal allowed to them to be heard before the CCP is put into operation.
- Currently there are 3 crore cases pending in India and 1.8 crore cases are filed every year. With so much work for the courts efficient and quick justice delivery suffers although speedy justice is the fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution.The courts saddled with heavy backlog it will take minimum 5 years for the civil appeal to get listed as once Shri Asthana has said.
- Lifting the stay in the SC order becomes incongruous should LIC ask for the civil appeal to be heard before the CCP becomes operational.Taking the overall view of what has happened so far the out come on 29 November should be encouraging to us.
