The reports also stated that probes in 67% of the 15654 crimes against women were pending. We are a civilized society and talking about equality, development, and growth but somewhere deep down in our roots mankind needs a correct approach in the form of reforms towards cases related to women. In any Society, conflicts are bound to arise between individuals, between groups, as well as between individuals or groups and government. All such conflicts must be settled by an autonomous body following the principle of rule of law. The principal role of the Judiciary is to guard rule of law and ensure the primacy of law. Judicial reforms are very much in need due to increased pendency of cases, delay in justice delivery, complex legal procedures, inaccessibility, high cost, corruption, lack of transparency particularly in the appointment of judges, and many more. Judicial reforms develop alternative conflicts resolution methods like Arbitration, Mediation, and Conciliation. It enhances the quality of judges assigned, employs experienced staff, adequate resources and equipment which promotes the value of equality, speed, and quality which should be executed by judges and lawyers prescribes the target time for all court cases to deal with the situation of pendency.
