The judicial Service Commission should put in place rules or formulate rules and procedures limiting the number of mentions and adjournments in cases and further cause amendment of Civil Procedure Rules and Criminal Procedure Code by introducing a provision specifying how long certain matters should take between filing and determination to ensure management of case backlog, as has been done in election petitions which have a limited period of hearing and determination of six months from the date of filing by Election Courts.
