The provision of justice in a speedy a fair manner is a fundamental right of every citizen which is conferred by various international, regional conventions and native laws. In the modern democratic era, the responsibility of dispensation of justice is mandated to the institutions of the judiciary. The judicial system in Pakistan along with the district courts is the initial and most important forum for the provision of justice. Unfortunately, the district judiciary is unable to arrange the cases with efficiency, which ultimately imparts their socio-economic impacts on the lives of litigants. The objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficiency of district courts and to identify the socio-economic impacts of courts' performance on litigants in civil cases. Further, the research while implying quantitative methodology reveals that the district judiciary is performing inefficiently and violating the values of the litigation process. Court services are neither expeditious nor inexpensive leading to the socio-economic lives of litigants that are affected due to delay in delivery of justice at district courts. Study recommended that socio-economic impacts of court performance on litigants during the proceedings are unpropitious, providing for modification of slow process into speedy justice.
