Iran Judiciary Vows Faster Cases for India Traders

ERBIL (Kurdistan24) - The head of Iran's Judiciary said on Friday that his institution is prepared to facilitate and expedite the resolution of legal and rights-related cases involving Iranian and Indian traders with joint business activities, during a visit to New Delhi tied to a BRICS meeting.

Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje'i, head of Iran's Judiciary, met with a group of Iranian and Indian traders and economic activists as part of his visit to New Delhi to attend the BRICS gathering. Addressing the meeting, he said cooperation between the two countries' business communities should face no obstacles.

"We must try to ensure no obstacle remains in the way of developing financial and trade relations between the two countries, and if a problem arises, we should resolve it through mutual effort and cooperation," Mohseni-Eje'i said.

The Judiciary chief referred to what he described as US economic pressure against the Iranian people, attributing many of the difficulties facing traders to the actions of major world powers, chiefly the United States.

"A significant part of the problems traders face in developing relations stems from the wrongdoing of arrogant global powers, and above all the US, which has pursued economic terrorism," Mohseni-Eje'i said.

He added that Iran and India could overcome these obstacles through cooperation between economic activists in both countries.

Mohseni-Eje'i said delays in resolving legal cases cause significant harm to traders, who carry financial obligations that make any stoppage costly. He said Iran has therefore focused on accelerating judicial proceedings in economic cases, and he asked traders to submit proposals if they have concerns about litigation costs or laws that create complications or delays, so that necessary measures could be taken.

Iran's ambassador to India said the Judiciary chief's presence offered a valuable opportunity to hear directly from traders and assist them. Separately, a representative of the National Iranian Oil Company said the company is prepared to supply crude oil to Indian refineries under any circumstances.

Mohseni-Eje'i closed the meeting by emphasizing that security underpins all economic activity, urging traders to avoid unhealthy competition in order to prevent legal and financial disputes that could harm the broader economy.
