This study aims to explore the core challenges impeding the effective delivery of justice in Sindh, Pakistan. The primary objective is to identify institutional, procedural, and socio-political barriers within the judicial system. Despite the foundational role of the judiciary in ensuring fairness and accountability, the system in Sindh remains burdened by massive case backlogs, poor infrastructure, political interference, and limited access to legal aid. Employing a qualitative research approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with judges, lawyers, prosecutors, and police officers, complemented by documentary analysis of court records and policies. Findings reveal widespread delays due to outdated laws, inadequate staffing, and inefficient case management. The study underscores the urgent need for judicial reforms, including modernizing procedural laws, enhancing court infrastructure, integrating digital tools, and strengthening legal aid mechanisms. These steps are crucial for restoring public trust, improving judicial efficiency, and ensuring accessible and timely justice for all segments of society.
