The incident has reignited debate over delays in court proceedings, with many questioning whether justice is truly being delivered in a timely manner. Citizens turn to the courts in search of justice, but when hearings are endlessly postponed and cases drag on for years, lives are directly affected—as this case grimly illustrates.
Mahajan’s death at the courthouse has once again placed the justice delivery system under scrutiny, raising the serious question: “How accountable is the system to the common citizen?”
