Judicial corruption in India

Judicial corruption in India
The Supreme Court of India, New Delhi

Judicial corruption in India refers to unethical, illegal, or biased practices within the Indian judiciary that undermine its independence, integrity, and credibility. Corruption allegations have been reported at various levels of the system—from the lower judiciary to the higher courts, including the Supreme Court of India. Observers argue that a lack of transparency in appointments, inefficient administrative practices, and weak accountability mechanisms have allowed corruption to persist within the judicial framework.

According to Transparency International, judicial corruption in India is attributable to factors such as "delays in the disposal of cases, shortage of judges and complex procedures, all of which are exacerbated by a preponderance of new laws".
