Karnataka High Court flags irony: Law meant to curb red tapism bogged down it
India's Karnataka High Court remarked on the paradox that the Karnataka Conduct of Government Litigation Act, 2023—designed to limit bureaucratic delays—has itself become entangled in procedural hurdles. The law mandates officials to observe fixed limitation periods for filing appeals, reviews or revisions against court judgments. The bench observed that none of the pending appeals complied with this statutory discipline.
