Long trial process occurs both in civil and criminal cases, and it results partly from insufficient number of judges and magistrates. Appointment of more judges is under consideration.The Constitution guarantees freedom of assembly (Art. 29) and the right to influence others to share similar views. It will, therefore, be wrong for the police to disrupt meetings of the opposition, and we have been cautioning them to desist from so doing.
