Justification report

(Pending litigation at Lahore high court)

(Causes and effect; a case study)
Introduction
It has been stated by the Martin Luther King;
Justice denied anywhere causes injustice to everywhere.
And the same is the saying of Quaid -e- azam ‘justice fair play and
impartiality’. So justice in the society is obligatory with respect to
maintenance of the peace and promulgation of the law in the
society. So the justice in every sphere of the life is inevitable for
promotion of a healthy and free and fair society. What makes
justice more effective and efficient is its speedy delivery. And
what makes the justice worse is lengthy process of its responding
and delivery. And no doubt it effects the total equilibrium of the
society.
Research problem
In Pakistan along with other various issues and problems one of
the most crucial and the critical is the delay in the decision of the
cases. For the years the cases are pending at the courts and this
results into causing the injustice to plaintiff and defendant by the
courts. And this could result into the disturbance, deviance and
crimes in a society.
Those which are the worlds best and the leading country have and
effective system of justice and there people enjoy the speedy
remedy. And the result there is in the form of minimum crime
ratio. And where there is no speedy remedy available that are
experiencing the high rate of crime. So the pendency of the cases
at the court of law is a critical dilemma because it is the basic and
the entire root of the state. And this is my research topic.
Research objective
In Pakistan we have three courts;
1- Supreme court (constitutional court )
2- High courts (appellate)
 3- Trial courts
So with these systems we have so many case that remained
pending at various courts. At appellate level like at the high
court level the situation is dormant with regard to the
institutional effective in respect of dealing with the appeals
which are lying before it.
So the objective behind the research shall be to ‘‘find out the
reasons of the delay in the administration of justice and in short
its possible impact upon the society’’. We shall have our main
emphasis upon the nature of the cases pending at high court and
their main reasons of pendency.
Research plan
