What problem can arise due to delay in the judiciary?

Correct answer: Difficulty in getting timely justice

Direct answer: A is correct. Judicial delay means that a case remains unresolved for a long time after people have approached the court. This can cause financial expense, emotional stress, uncertainty, and difficulty in obtaining an effective remedy. In some situations, delay may also weaken evidence or make relief less useful because the person needs protection or compensation at the right time. The principle often expressed as “justice delayed is justice denied” reminds us that a correct decision delivered too late may fail to protect a right fully. B is wrong because delay does not strengthen rights automatically. C is wrong because delay means cases take longer, not that they end immediately. D is wrong because delays show the continuing need for courts and improved access and administration, not that courts are unnecessary. Memory cue: timely justice makes legal rights meaningful.
