A major problem faced by Indian courts, something which has become even more apparent during these times, is the matter of delays. There is a lot of uncertainty in the system. For example, if your case is listed for a particular day, when you go to a court, you don't really know if your case will be heard or not.
So, how can we ensure speedy trials for all?

To talk about this, on this episode of Know Your Kanoon, Amber is joined by advocates Surya Prakash B. S., Chartered Accountant and Lawyer, Fellow and Programme Director at Daksh Society India & host of the Thale-Harate Kannada Podcast, and Harish Narasappa, Founder, Daksh Society India and founding partner at Samvad Partners.

Harish Narasappa co-authored a book on the issue titled 'Justice Frustrated: The Systemic Impact of Delay in Indian Courts'. Do check it out: https://www.amazon.in/dp/9389714184/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_g2NiFb60CC7F6
