Judiciary is vital for any organized society. Otherwise, there will be only a law of the jungle where might is right. Indian judiciary has maintained its independence guaranteed in the Constitution and also by its action and healthy traditions, which have been set up. Nevertheless, there is a negative aspect of the Indian judiciary. This is related to the enormous delay in disposing of cases. One estimate is that if the Indian courts were not to take more cases from today and dispose off the cases at the present rate, then, it may take nearly 300 years to clear the present back log of around 30 million cases pending in the various courts of India. It is in this context that e-courts offer a ray of hope.
