I have Scraped the River Basin & Sub-basin Data from the WRIS site, and
uploaded them as a geoPackage here:

Re: [datameet] National Judicial Data Grid - Pendency

2019-05-28 Thread Praachi Misra 
The World Bank 'Ease of Doing' business index does take into account the 
time and cost of Enforcement of Contracts 
. 
This ranking is based both on data collected and interviews with lawyers. 
Currently it covers Mumbai and Delhi Civil Courts 
.

Data.gov.in has some aggregated data but it does not point to lifespans of 
individual cases (search pendency + judicial). 

NJDG is also behind a *captcha *if one wants to seek out info based on 
individual cases. The problem with aggregated data is that it 
differentiates in such broad strokes (civil v criminal) that the 
information becomes practically meaningless. [Divorce cases v property 
disputes etc.] 

Recently Supreme Court of India also went behind a* captcha *in what seems 
to be in violation of its own information technology policy. It also seems 
to be the only apex judicial body which seems to have taken this step (see 
US, UK, Australia, EU countries) 

Daksh  is a good source of info on the overall 
state of the judiciary.

Separately I can point you to some research on Income Tax dispute resolution

   - Understanding Judicial Delay at theIncome Tax Appellate Tribunal in 
   India 
   
(NIPFP)
   - An Analysis of Transfer Pricing Disputes in India 
    
   (NIPFP)
   - How to Modernise the Working of Courts and Tribunals in India 
   
(NIPFP)

Also these blog posts [*Disclaimer*: I work for the organisation]

   1. Rising duration 
   
   2. Comparison of tribunals 
   
   3. Issue in case 
   

   4. Stay applications 
   

   5. Tax effect 
   6. Pendency 

*Question*: Will location of crimes etc. be covered by the Smart City 
projects that are underway?

Would be happy to assist anybody undertaking work wrt. judicial data (*Note*: 
have no coding skills)
