Description
As a law student, I found civil procedure to be one of the most boring subjects. I filled to see what is even required to be studied but for memoriving the various sections, orders and nules in the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 ("Code"). All that changed during my tenure in Oxford and under the tutelage of Prof. Adrian Zuckerman. To the unbeknownst, he is, without doubt, amongst the foremost academics on civil procedure in the common law world. I still recollect our first reading of his seminal article "Quality and Economy in Civil Procedure: The Case for Commuting Carw Judements for Timely Judgments" 11994114 OJ.L.S. 353. In that article, Adrian argued that in the current age litigants are most likely sacrifice procedure leading to a correct judgment determined after huge delay in favour of a timely decision. Adrian's article had a huge impact on me, and my understanding of civil procedure. It drove  we to understand civil procedure as a component of justice and getting to the truth, rather than merely a myriad procedure. Being inspired by him. I continued my interest and pursued an M. Phil at Oxford where I examined the links and relationship between interlocutory injunctions and judicial delays in India. Borrowing from Adrian, the thesis focussed on how, in view of the massive judicial backlog in the country, interlocutory injunction hearings are becoming "mini-trials” and litigants are more likely to spend time and resources in an interlocutory hearing than have a short hearing and proceed with a trial of the entire suit. This way, they would have an idea of their chances of success and may even settle the case. In the past ten years, I have practised civil procedure, caught civil procedure and written extensively on it. With this little experience, I always advise a client to avoid litigation if possible. The judicial system in India is fraught with too many obstacles and long drawn delays that would make justice seem illusory. In the past four years, I have hardly seen a trial in the original side of a High Court.
