Create transitional courts between HC and SC

 

The Supreme Court is over-burdened with crores of cases and most cases from the High Court ends up with the SC or are taken up directly by the SC. 

A majority of the cases are pending since decades and several are frivolous in nature. Because of these, genuine cases are not been taken up by the SC. 

Now the government could seriously consider setting up transitional courts (TC) to look into defamation suits, narcotics, financial frauds, family matters, hurting sentiments, property matters, environment, etc. 

The TC would be the buffer between the HC and SC and all the disputes could be settled and justice meted out. Establishing TC could create employment for judges, lawyers and associated people. 

The cases that directly impact national security (internal and external), constitutional issues, etc. could be handled by the SC. As the pressure would be reduced, the judges of the various courts would have time to study the cases in all seriousness. 

There could also be midnight courts to grant bails, swearing in political parties, matters of hi-profile people and so forth!
