Though, our judicature provides justice, yet our criminal justice system of reaching
judgment is so slow that even the simplest cases take a long time. The trial procedure
possess hurdles to speedy dispensation of cases. It delays and hampers an expeditious
trial. Other areas of focus are corruption and extraneous influence of political power over
investigating department. Most long prevailing obstacle in fair and speedy trial is lack of
strengthened investigation which lacks good forensic science application and quality. The
Indian system of policing and criminal investigation is still trapped in the old ways of
information congregation and beating out a confession from its suspects. Once the bench
of Justice BS Chauhan and Justice SA Bobde said that The Courts time is being mostly
used by senior advocates and big rich criminals.
The paper covers the obstacle in improper functioning of courts, frequent adjournments
on most flimsy grounds and highlights the challenges involved in administration of
justice. Subsequent aspects like prison reforms and juvenile justice also need to be looked
upon. The overall process is cumbersome and time consuming which is defeating the
main essence of criminal system. Therefore this paper deals with reforms which can
rescue the sailing boat of criminal justice administration. Furthermore criminal justice
needs overhauling so that the constitutional validity is evaluated.
