This letter refers to the editorial ‘Another way is possible’ (July 18, 2022), which discusses the sluggish pace of Pakistan’s judicial system. After the creation of Pakistan, the panchayat system worked very well but was destroyed by political interference.
The best solution would be to fix a time limit within which the courts have to dispense with a case.
