Governance
Judicial Sluggishness
Slow court systems, massive case backlogs
Justice delayed is governance denied — backlogs mean contracts, rights, and accountability all move at court speed, not market speed.
What keeps this stuck
- Too few judges relative to population and case volume
- Government as the largest litigant (~half of pending cases)
- Adjournment culture (“tareekh pe tareekh”)
- Severe underfunding of district courts where most cases are heard
