Supreme
Court refuses to hear plea on case backlog
Extract from the article:
The Supreme Court has declined to hear a
plea concerning a staggering backlog of more than five crore cases in India.
Currently, there are 82,397 pending cases
in the Supreme Court, with 27,675 cases less than a year old.
In comparison, the US Supreme Court accepts
only 100-150 cases annually out of over 7,000 submitted cases.
The issue of mounting pending cases poses a
significant challenge to the Indian judiciary system.
This backlog not only signifies delay in
justice delivery but also raises questions about the efficiency and capacity of
the legal system to handle such a massive load of cases. The numbers highlight
a pressing need for systemic reforms and innovative approaches to streamline
and expedite the judicial process to ensure timely justice for all.
My
Take:
Dispose
them off !
"In my earlier blog post, I emphasized
the urgent need to dispose of pending cases efficiently.
It's alarming to see that the backlog has
only grown over the years, indicating a systemic issue that requires immediate
attention.
Veerappa Moily's call to dispose of at
least 65% of pending cases in 2011 remains relevant today, reflecting the
persistent struggle of the judiciary to keep up with the influx of new
cases."
Justice
Delayed - but not Denied
"Reflecting on the slow pace of
justice delivery, it's evident that the backlog of cases has reached critical
levels.
The success of Lok Adalats in clearing a
substantial number of cases in a short span is commendable but underscores the
need for more innovative solutions.
The recent developments in the Supreme
Court regarding expediting trials for lawmakers echo the urgency for timely
justice, especially in cases involving public representatives."
Call to Action:
To the Supreme Court of India,
Considering the alarming backlog of cases and
the crucial need for timely justice, it is imperative to implement robust
strategies and technological interventions to expedite case disposal.
Engaging with legal experts, policymakers,
and technology innovators can help in devising effective solutions to address
the mounting challenges faced by the judiciary system.
