15 years for disposal of partition suit?

                   It is reported under property law  that a partition suit can take as long as 15 years. Is it not  ridiculous?   I can't understand this. The parties concerned can be asked by the court to to produce all the papers concerned, and collect those that are required within a month's notice and can decide and pronounce the orders. The courts should sit continuously to dispose of such cases, instead of making a mockery of the judicial  systems. It is time every body changes for the better.
