> India needs more courts and judges but for some reason does not build more courts.

You do know why. Because its a low pay job and private jobs are paying higher.

Becoming a lawyer will earn you 10x more than any judge. And so we have no shortage of lawyers.

But then I assume you would counter this with "so govt should pay them higher" ?

Why would I say that?

Judges can still make money via plain old corruption, incase you didnt know Indian judicial system is pretty corrupt.

What is your solution?

Every judicial system is corrupt. Indian judicial system works and people have faith in it. Could it be made better? Hell yes.
How can it work when you yourself admit that its corrupt?
Simple, softwares work even though they can have bugs. The judicial system is not perfect with a lot that can be improved. It works because people haven't lost faith in it and almost all disputes reach courts instead of streets.
> It works because people haven't lost faith in it

You clearly have not dealt with the Indian Judicial system, there are some things in life you need to experience yourself to understand it, Indian Judicial system is one of them.

> almost all disputes reach courts instead of streets.

No, lot of people just give up because they know there is no point in wasting 10 years for the court case to finish. Isn't that the definition of people losing faith?

If maby people dont use your software because its buggy then its really an issue not a feature.

You shouldn't make such assumptions without knowing about somebody. I have dealt with the judicial system.

Where are these "lots of people" if the system is drowning in new cases all over the place? The definition of people losing faith in a "corrupt judiciary" would be mass protests, street judgments.

Please don't misunderstand that I am saying the system is without issues (huge problems, time being the biggest like you say) but to insinuate that Indian judicial system is pretty corrupt and/or dysfunctional is hyperbolic.
