Duration of court proceedings in India

How long do court proceedings take in India? The oldest currently pending case in India dates back to 1878.

According to media reports, proceedings lasting up to 10 years are not uncommon.

In the context of DRC Systems, it is relevant that the company initially stated its headquarters were in New York. Manager Mahesh Sutariya later clarified that this was merely an “affiliate partner”. Shortly after June 2017, the reference to the “headquarters” in the USA was removed from the DRC Systems website.

Pursuing legal action against an Indian company through the Indian court system involves considerable effort, owing to the lengthy proceedings and differing legal framework.
