Chief Justice of India justice RM Lodha said he was am worried with the pace of criminal justice system in the country. "I am not satisfied and an effort has to be made to improve the system. I have my own limitations. I can't set up new courts," said the CJI.
"There is no institutional fast track. You have to come out with a frame work on the type of cases that have to be fast tracked and this should be in consultation wit state governments," added the judge.
The court also advised Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi that the Central government should call a meeting of chief secretaries and law secretaries of states to study the problem.
