The India Justice Report 2025 highlights the dominance of southern states in policing, judiciary, prisons, and legal aid. Karnataka tops the list among 18 large and mid-sized states, being the only one to meet police and judiciary quotas. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu complete the top five. Telangana made a significant leap from 11th to 3rd. West Bengal fell to last place, while Bihar saw the worst police-to-population ratio. Among small states, Sikkim led, and Goa ranked lowest. The report calls for urgent reforms, noting rising undertrial numbers and stagnant police ratios, urging systemic change and societal pressure.
