New generation judges - greater transparency & time table.

Yes ,get, set, and be ready.
Every court must have a daily routine and agenda, cause list and time table, even if that court is lying vacant.
The society has a right to know why a particular case is pending and who is responsible for the pendency
Every court must have a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly time table, routine, cases to be disposed off even if these routines cannot be honoured.
Let there be 100% default for all the judges and courts for the first three months but if you start with a time schedule , may be provisionally, may be persuasive for the bar, may be informative for the executive, may be assuring for the litigation, but let us start such an exercise.
Let it fail but not without monitoring ,Let the time table be ther and let all concerned that a time table though prepared is failing. But let it not go un-noticed.
Highlight at every stage through every possible of communication and even media that the time table has failed.
This transparent insemmination of information will put pressure on all concerned and if at all the judiciary is efficient enough, it will save the judiciary from unnecessary criticism.
The forces that have occupied space in the justice delivery system unnecessarily  or are responsible for snags shall get exposed.
Dead litigations, luxurious litigation, designed litigation will automatically come to the light of people and create more awareness about pending cases.
Lack of transparency of information has made this court system a tool for exploitation by middleman at different levels.
Legal services in India is not institutionalised. It if neither standardised nor available to whole of the nation in equal quality,quantity.
The quality of legal knowledge  available at villages and the level of legal remedies available , justice dispensed at village level is far far below presence- felt- level.
Lack of transmission of law, legal knowledge, court/remedies available, court informations and a opaque justice delivery system where even today most of the information are manuall manupulated and not freely accesssable is causing great concern
New generation judges must be sensitised for greater transparency and a must time table.
