Good attempt, content and presentation both are fine.
Introduction is good, causes mentioned are also fine, nice that you have used data to substantiate.
In important cases pending, you can also mention about the constitutionality of CAA, issue of electoral bonds, other issues are good.
In implications, you can mention some constitutional articles which are said to be violated(15, 16, 19,21 etc). Other points are good.
Way forward is good too, need for better technology and faster investigation techniques can also be written.
Conclusion is good, overall you have written well.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Introduction is fine, you can quote the report name while mentioning ranking or National Judicial Data grid about pendency for better impact.
Reasons mentioned are also okay, some are missing- low judge to population ratio, lack of infrastructure/technology, slow and shoddy investigation process etc
After that, first mention the important cases that are pending, then go for impacts- NEET-PG example is good, constitutionality of CAA, allegations of human rights violations in J&K, anonymity issue in electoral bonds, constitutionality of EWS reservation- all can be mentioned.
In impacts, mention constitutional articles(15, 16, 19, 21 etc) alleged to be violated, impact on society part is good.
Next, you have mentioned steps taken, few points regarding way forward will be good.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Decent attempt.
Introduction is fine, you can quote National judicial data grid data for better impact.
Reasons mentioned are good, try to keep the explanation part concise.
Some sections are missing from the answer- mention the important cases that are pending – NEET-PG example, constitutionality of CAA, allegations of human rights violations in J&K, anonymity issue in electoral bonds, constitutionality of EWS reservation- all can be mentioned.
Next mention the implications of this pendency- lower faith of public in judiciary, question on SC’s reputation as the guardian of justice delivery, alleged violation of fundamental rights (article 15,16,19,21 etc) and basic structure, long trial periods even in case of not guilty etc
Way forward is fine, speeding up the investigation process can also be mentioned.
Conclusion is good.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Good attempt. Your understanding of the topic is good, presentation is also fine.
Introduction is fine, good that you have mentioned some important pending cases.
Reasons mentioned are fine, further you can talk about delayed and shoddy investigation, low budgetary allocation for judiciary etc
Implications mentioned are also fine, again mention of data will create greater impact, further you can mention alleged violation of constitutional rights of individual(ar 15,16,19,21 etc) and basic structure.
Undesirable consequences part is good.
After that, you can mention a brief way forward- initiatives like e-courts, SUPACE etc, alternate dispute resolution forums, better investigation techniques, improving infra, budget allocation and filling up vacancies by fast tracking the collegium system.. NJAC can be avoided as it has been quashed by the SC.
Then mention a conclusion, justice delayed is justice denied can be emphasized.
Keep practicing. 🙂

You have attempted well. Introduction, reasons and consequences all are good.
Before consequences, however, mention some of the important cases that are pending – NEET-PG example, constitutionality of CAA, allegations of human rights violations in J&K, anonymity issue in electoral bonds, constitutionality of EWS reservation, legality of demonetization – all can be mentioned.
In consequences, also add points like alleged violation of basic structure (federalism etc) and fundamental rights like equality, free speech which have a larger impact and need to be decided swiftly. Other points are good nice that you have mentioned data regarding undertrials and right to speedy justice.
Way forward is okay, some points can be added such as faster investigation, alternate dispute redressal mechanisms if you have time, otherwise it is fine.
Conclusion is good.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Nice attempt. Your understanding of the topic is good, structure of the answer is also fine.
Introduction is good, you can mention according to National judicial data grid.
Reasons mentioned are also decent enough, lack of budgetary allocation and slow and shoddy investigation can also be talked about.
Cases that you have mentioned are good, recent example of delay in NEET-PG case can be included.
Consequences are fine, but some points are missing.
Large number of undertrials(you can quote prison data), future of youth can be mentioned. Right to speedy justice is guaranteed as a FR under article 21, so that can be mentioned. Further allegations of violations of right to equality, free speech (quoting article numbers) can be talked about.
Way forwards is good, you can incorporate some current initiatives like e-courts, SUPACE etc
Conclusion is fine, keep practicing. 🙂
