Reasons: Why judges often say "Really a bad case. But we can't help"
There are case where gross injustice done to a party is visible on the records of case. But there is little which a judge can do to help the victim.
Though he may wish to give judgement in favour of victim, he cannot give.
These are "Really bad cases".
Hands of judges are tied by various "Do" and "Don't Do" guidelines laid down by law and by superior courts.
In some cases, law or evidence or facts are so skewed up that they cannot be straightened up.
Here judges are helpless.
The litigants who do not understand positions of law, leave court with feeling that "There is no justice in courts"
Other Side Argument
There are some powers with Supreme Courts and High Courts which give them power to pass any orders not withstanding whatever the law or evidence etc may be.
They have almost kingly freedom to pass any order to do justice.
But this powers are rarely used by them.
Use of such power often exposes judges to allegations by rival parties.
The judges are reluctant to use such divine power which they are given.
They need to be stronger when justice is to be done.
