Yes, sadly this is true and one of the biggest bottlenecks in India. There are many ways (bribing and legal) to delay a case. I have known cases to last 20-30 years because more time will benefit one of the parties. For example if a rich person sues a poor person, lets say for an inherited property, the rich person benefits from making the case go longer. They dont even have to have a valid case, just after enough delays, the poor person is going to move on. Replace 'poor' above with any disadvantaged group. Edit: The rich/powerful people give a return of their "winnings" to the judges/court-employees. This is one of the main reasons for delays on cases that can be easily closed.
