There are any number of lacunae in the Indian system:

- No codified tort law.

- Most things are done through Criminal Law, even many of which are better dealt with through Civil Law.

- Ineffective perjury provisions.

- Lack of Jury system with requirement of unanimous verdict.

- Lack of recourse against wrongful imprisonment.

- No Miranda act like right to remain silent. That is the right against self incrimimation is weak and ineffictual in India.

- Death Penalty still remains.

- The police does not operate as per the Peelian Principles.

- Lower courts are rubber stamps, they never refuse prosecution.
