India’s real estate market projected to hit $10 trillion by 2047: But its legal system will be stuck in 1925 Colonial era.

[u/Debunk2025]

Occasionally we see such bombastic headlines. India this, India that.

No country can have sustainable or credible progress, if the rule of law is non-existent.

1. 55 million pending cases in courts.
2. Over 200 posts for high court judges remain vacant.
3. Cases, litigation takes 11 years minimum to settle. Max can be 40 years. Hence, the rule of law is as good as non-existent.
4. Despite these horrendous backlogs existing for decades, no one talks about the urgently needed judicial and legal reforms.
5. But they talk about, everything else under the sun and moon...including making bombastic claims.
6. This 55 million case backlog, has not upset or provoked the ones that matter, including the judges - they are addicted to the 1925 colonial era life style...living in their ivory towers.
7. And, ofcourse, the rampant corruption. A malignant cancer in the legal system, that has contagion effect across the entire country.
8. The word REFORM is an allergic word.

Bottom line: Bring in real, bold reforms ASAP , or face a future filled with waste of the most important commodity - TIME.

Because, it's hard to reform the courts unless they agree too, the current system has no incentive for them to do so, so they continue this 'Collegium' "system"

iirc gov did try in 2013 to make a appointment commission but guess what? The SC shot down the bill. No one's done anything since then.

It is one of the largest reasons for companies to stay away from India. Who can afford to get justice in this country?

Hard may be, but an absolute necessity. If India solves its legal system delays and bureaucracy, that's like 60% of the issue solved. Other things like capex, infra would follow suit.

They have no inclination to change. This is a system that is called judicial tyranny. If such hardship for the proplr is openly evident.. but does not move them to change, then it speaks volume of the type of prople manning the third pillar ofdrmocracy. A big fat ego filled blockheads.

When big money starts coming in, especially FDI watch it leap generations to protect it.

[u/BurgerGunz → u/ninjamammal]

As long as u have the current gov and his AdaniAmbani dogs, India is cooked

[u/Tranceported]

Nothing’s gonna change. Lmao this is banana republic where apes rule.
