Abstract

The Indian judiciary, one of the oldest and most complex legal systems in the world, has undergone significant reforms over the past few decades. These reforms have aimed at improving the efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of the legal system. This research paper explores the Indian experience in judicial reforms, highlighting key initiatives, successes, challenges, and lessons that can be applied in other jurisdictions. The paper examines the impact of reforms such as the introduction of fast-track courts, digitization, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, and judicial accountability measures on the functioning of the judiciary.
