Q. Which High Court said that ‘the right to speedy justice is a Fundamental Right’?
Answer:
Madhya Pradesh High Court
Notes: Madhya Pradesh High Court has said that ‘the right to speedy justice is a Fundamental Right’ while rejecting a plea against the executive order of the Chief Justice asking district courts to dispose of 25 of their oldest cases every quarter.
If a court fails to dispose of 25 of its oldest cases in a quarter, the remainder will be added to their target in the next quarter, as per the order. There was a prolonged strike by lawyers across Madhya Pradesh against the order.
