How can heavy pendency of cases affect access to justice?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Delay in justice can reduce the practical value of relief
Heavy pendency can delay hearings and judgments. When relief comes too late, its practical benefit may be reduced; for example, timely decisions matter in wage, pension, or property disputes. Option B is incorrect because a large backlog does not automatically make courts faster. Exam tip: link “delayed justice” with a barrier to effective access to justice.
