Few facts:
- The SC works for 193 days a year;
- 37% of the total posts for judges in Indian High Courts are lying vacant;
- Acc. to a 2018 NITIAayog paper, it would take the courts >324 years to clear the backlog [which was 29mn at the time];

This failure of speedy justice can cost heavily to society.
It is high time that reforms are brought in to update the judicial system.
Because currently, the concept of swift justice is elusive in India.
