Defects Of Procedural Laws Cause Delay In Civil Litigation In Bangladesh

Md. Salah Uddin

Abstract

Still in Bangladeshi civil courts run trials and other activities according to old laws and due to these, delay in civil litigation is so common here. Actually, those laws were framed considering the social economic condition and intention of the people of that period, which is just irrelevant these days. By misusing these old laws delaying the disposal of suits is easily possible because in most cases, detailed procedure is not mentioned. Apart from that, all the steps in trial are still completed manually which is extremely timeconsuming but it's the provision of prevailing procedural law. So, if these procedural laws can be amended properly considering current challenges then there will be no delay in civil litigation and people will be able to enjoy rights declared by sustainable laws, in time.
