Like many other countries, delay in civil litigation is really a burning issue, now in Bangladesh. Due to defective procedural laws, shortage of judges, intention of parties and some other reasons, civil suits become pending years after years. And this practice is really harmful for litigating parties, especially to the plaintiff whose rights have been violated. Some important related steps like adjournment time frame, adjournment grounds, etc are not fixed. So, there is a huge scope of delay in final disposal of civil suits. Legislature inserted the provision for alternative dispute resolution to dispose of civil suits promptly and its effective for that, but, still this system is not well known to many people of Bangladesh. For all these things, a huge number of suits remain pending before different civil courts. So many litigating parties cannot enjoy their rights whenever they actually need to. Ultimately it has a huge negative impact on the public's confidence in the judiciary.
