Lethargic delays and postponements followed by inadequate sentences in our judicial system is accountable for serious crimes some of which are even repeated. To stem the outrages scale of murder and other brutal crimes, speedy collection of evidences, set up of bespoke courts which hears cases on continuous days till conclusion and meaningful deterrents must be put in place asap.
