Friends, as soon as we hear the name of court, the first thing that comes to our mind is that court cases are going to last for a long time and this is the reason that people in our country try to postpone court proceedings as much as possible. And many times, to postpone a court case, they have to give up their rights as well, but have we ever thought deeply about why court cases or court proceedings go on for a long time – and what are the things that we can do to get a quick decision in our case?

In today’s blog, we are going to talk about this topic. Some methods have been mentioned in the blog, keeping in mind which you will be able to get your case decided quickly and in your favor. The information in the blog is very useful, so read the blog till the end and if you like the information, then share it with your friends.

The legal process in our country has been very lengthy since ancient times. It is not that the governments have not tried to shorten the process. Certainly, the governments have made changes in the procedures so that the legal proceedings can be resolved as soon as possible. Such alternative dispute resolution systems have also been developed through which you can present your case before ADR before filing your case and it can also be resolved on the basis of mediation or compromise.

How to Get a Quick Court Decision in India: A Step-by-Step Approach

But despite all these efforts of the government, we still see that court cases still go on for a long time. Then what are the reasons behind them and how can we get rid of these reasons and get a quick decision in our case?

See, in a court case, the proceedings of our case depend on four aspects. The first and most important aspect is ourselves, the second aspect is our advocate, the third aspect is our opposing party and their advocate and the fourth aspect is the court. And these aspects are also the reasons for the delay in our case.

What I mean to say is that if we want quick proceedings in our case, then first of all we will have to take interest in our case. Now you must be thinking that what will happen if we take interest because the lawyer has to fight the case, but this thinking is wrong because the lawyer is there to plead for us, i.e. to make a presentation on our behalf in the court, the facts of the case are our own.

Therefore no one can know our case better than us. Whatever your case is, you should keep a file of it with you and study it from time to time. Generally, what happens in cases is that when the case starts, in the beginning we meet the lawyer once or twice and attend the court proceedings.

But later we leave everything to the lawyer and get busy in our personal life and then until the lawyer calls us, we do not even think about that case. The biggest reason for delay in the case also starts from here because if we reduce the interest in our case, then the lawyer also puts it in due course and keeps getting adjournments in it.

Now you must be thinking that the work of a lawyer will be done by a lawyer only, what can we do? No, you have to take interest in your case. Before every scheduled date of hearing of the case, we should contact the lawyer and ask him what is going to happen in our case on the next date of hearing and how are we prepared or not for that proceeding.

If any evidence or any fact is to be told to the lawyer from our side for that proceeding, then that should be told to us in advance and when our court date comes, then we should make every possible effort to attend the court on that date and attending court does not mean merely attending as a mute spectator but we should try to understand the proceedings taking place in our case and if no proceedings are taking place in our case on that day, then we should know the reason why it did not take place.

See, this is a fact about lawyers that if any party takes full interest in his case and fully supports his lawyer, then the lawyer also fights such case with full dedication, but if the party itself becomes lax in his case, then even the lawyer is not able to give much importance to that case.

Many times, even on the request of our opposite party’s lawyer, our lawyer is unable to refuse adjournment because mostly both the lawyers are members of the same bar and there can be no dispute on small matters, but in the same situation, if we ourselves are present, then our lawyer refuses to take adjournment and says that my client has come, so I will not take adjournment.

That is why if we actively participate in our case with full interest, then a major reason for delay in the case ends here.

The other aspect of our case is our advocate. Many times we mistakenly choose a lawyer who does not have a strong hold on the subject related to our case and his approach is also not professional. In such a situation, the lawyer tries to take as many adjournments as possible in the case and prolong the case. If we take the wrong decision in choosing a lawyer, then even after our case is strong, we are unable to win in the court and it also takes a lot of time. That is why it is very important for us to choose the right lawyer for our case.

We have created another blog on how to choose the right lawyer, the link of which is given below and you must read it so that you can know what precautions we should take while appointing a lawyer. The third aspect of the case is our opposing party and his advocate i.e. lawyer.

See, in every case, one side is strong and the other side is weak and the person from the weaker side always tries to take as many adjournments as possible in the case, postpone the case and prolong it. If our case is strong, then our opposing party will also try the same, but if both the things mentioned earlier are taken care of, that is, we participate personally and actively in our case and we have appointed a good advocate.

So the tactics of the opposing party fail. In the court, the judge or the magistrate also notices which party is taking how much interest in his case and then they also get to know which party is trying to postpone the case. So, the party who tries to postpone his case in front of the judge

Judges stop giving him a chance and pass appropriate orders in our favor. When any party is advised to actively participate in the case, most people say that we should do our work, do a job or fight the court case. So friends, the court case dates are not every day.

The court case date is once in a month or two. Many times we take leave even if we have personal work. So court case is a very important part of our life. Therefore, we should definitely pay attention to our court case and as far as possible, we should actively participate in it. Also, the more interest we take in our case, the more we get the result according to that.

The Fourth Aspect of a Court Case is the Judge or Magistrate.

There was a time when judges or magistrates used to work according to their wishes but in today’s time, every judge or magistrate gets weekly and monthly targets. He has to settle the cases and also hear them according to his target.

Therefore, if we are active in our case and we are continuously attending to our case, then the judge also takes interest in such cases and the proceedings in our case are taken forward as soon as possible. We just have to ensure that we go to the court prepared on every date of hearing and if the opposing party asks for adjournment, then we have to oppose it. By doing so, the chances of a quick decision in our case increase significantly.
