Abstract

Procedural laws play a vital role in shaping the justice system of any country. In India, where the legal system is known for its complexity and delays, ensuring fairness and efficiency in procedural laws becomes crucial. This article aims to examine the contemporary challenges faced by Indian procedural laws and proposes measures to address them. The article begins with an introduction highlighting the importance of fair and efficient procedural laws in the Indian context. It then explores the challenges faced by the Indian justice system, including delays, overcrowded courts, and procedural complexities. Subsequently, it discusses the need for reforms to achieve fairness and efficiency in Indian procedural laws. The article further examines specific areas requiring attention, such as alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, case management techniques, and leveraging technology. Finally, the article concludes by emphasising the significance of striking a balance between fairness and efficiency in procedural laws to achieve justice in a timely manner.
