Justice Delayed will be an essential database that will catalog long-pending criminal cases across 650+ district courts in India. The data, and the software system it will fuel, will equip journalists from remote parts of the country with the tools to scrutinize every aspect of the criminal justice system within their respective regions. By extracting and organizing data from district-level courts, the project aims to pinpoint cases contributing to India’s staggering backlog of nearly 50 million court cases, primarily concentrated in district-level jurisdictions.
