The Delhi High Court has criticized the Customs Department for its failure to appear in court and its lack of coordination in handling cases, calling it a "waste of judicial time." The court expressed frustration over the repeated absence of officials, which has led to unnecessary delays in legal proceedings.
The bench emphasized that such inefficiencies not only burden the judiciary but also affect the litigants who await resolution of their matters. The court directed the Customs Department to take corrective measures and ensure proper representation in future hearings.
This incident highlights broader concerns about bureaucratic inefficiency in government departments and its impact on the judicial system.
