The World Bank 'Ease of Doing' business index does take into account the time and cost of Enforcement of Contracts <http://www.doingbusiness.org/en/data/exploretopics/enforcing-contracts>. This ranking is based both on data collected and interviews with lawyers. Currently it covers Mumbai and Delhi Civil Courts <http://www.doingbusiness.org/en/data/exploreeconomies/india#DB_ec>.
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 <http://dakshindia.org/> 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 <https://macrofinance.nipfp.org.in/PDF/DattaPrakashSane_WP_2017_208.pdf> (NIPFP) - An Analysis of Transfer Pricing Disputes in India <https://www.nipfp.org.in/media/medialibrary/2019/05/WP_266_2019.pdf> (NIPFP) - How to Modernise the Working of Courts and Tribunals in India <https://www.nipfp.org.in/media/medialibrary/2019/03/WP_2019_258.pdf> (NIPFP) Also these blog posts [*Disclaimer*: I work for the organisation] 1.
