But either in the Bar room or in the Court Halls, there are any additional facilities. Even the Court Halls are not properly furnished. Most of the advocates who are required to attend courts have to stand all the while waiting for their cases to be called. The law books are the tools of the trade for judges. The judges are generally under the mercy of lawyers to provide copies of the decisions or enactments relied during the course of the argument.
Some judges write judgments in their own hands for want of stenographers.
The judges are not given proper training either at the induction level or periodical refresher courses to update their knowledge and technique of fast track disposal. There is no Information Technology for Court Management in most of the States. There is no Data Base application for cases. No Scanner or Electronic Filing and for Retrieving Documents etc. These deficiencies are indeed, insidious threat to the independence of the judicial system, though not to the independence of individual judges who operate the system.
