Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Justice of India T.S. Chief Justice Thakur said foreign investors continue to be wary of India’s labyrinthine and delayed justice delivery mechanism. The Chief Justice said investors feel that Indian courts would delay justice due to them. Civil courts should be able to hear and decide challenges to arbitration awards in a time-bound manner, Chief Justice Thakur said. Mr. Modi, who spoke after the Chief Justice, said the government was deeply engaged in clearing the roadblocks towards a smooth justice delivery mechanism.
