Description: Splits court delay into two parts: (1) what a case is, represented
    through the statutory Acts and Sections invoked by the case, and (2) where
    it sits, represented by time-varying court docket load. Builds a weighted
    similarity graph of cases from legal provisions using 'igraph' and 'Matrix',
    estimates censoring-aware expected resolution timelines using legally
    similar neighbours, calculates relative lateness, and models delay in
    relation to filing-time court docket load using 'survival'. Designed for
    case-level judicial records such as the Development Data Lab (DDL) extract
    of Indian lower courts (<https://www.devdatalab.org/judicial-data>). Observational
    and non-causal; does not rank judges, evaluate judicial performance, or claim
    causal delay effects.
