Quick takeaways
- Efforts are being made to classify and understand court workflows for better data collection in Indian courts, but complete digitization is still in the early stages.
- The perception of slow justice in India is influenced by factors like a lack of trust in the judiciary, government litigation practices, and a lack of discipline within the judiciary, which can be addressed by imposing costs for frivolous litigation and promoting timely judgments.

Challenges with Recording Data and Computerization of Courts
The recording of data in Indian courts faces challenges due to the lack of a uniform system across states and courts. This lack of uniformity makes it difficult to aggregate and track data effectively. However, recent initiatives by research bodies have been working on classifying and understanding court workflows for better data collection. Computerization efforts have also started, with some high courts providing online access to court schedules and case histories. However, complete digitization and elimination of paper processes are still in the early stages, with the Supreme Court leading the way in encouraging electronic filing and paperless proceedings.
