Astonishingly, most of the features, neither properly exist nor expected to grow in near future; instead, they are reverting back by the passage of time. Judicial organ with all its perks and privilegesis illuminating yet facing criticism on escalating litigation backlog.Bar Councils and Associations are losingprofessionalism. Legal fraternity,to some extent, is abusingtheirfacts finding mission and not performingtheir contributory role as officers of courts.This fragmentation has produced inclination in legal practitioners to practice alternative irregular options outside the courts.Witnesses’ credibility has been pushed at stake and testimonial tendency is decreasing.Genuine litigants are losing hope for timely justice and frivolous litigation is increasing for vested interests and defeating the cause of justice.

The doctrinal method of research has been adopted to conduct the study.
