Ensure quick justice by reducing case backlogs

The issue of legal complexities and the slow pace of the judiciary, leading to cases being stalled, is not new. In every country, thousands of cases remain unresolved for years. Even in countries like Europe and America, many cases are pending for extended periods. In India, there are thousands of cases that have been pending for over 30 years; however, the situation in Bangladesh is rare globally. In such a small country, a staggering 4.4 million cases are stuck! No one knows when these cases will be resolved.
