JUDICIAL  PRODUCTIVITY

If figures published in DNA [ 29, Nov. 2011 ] are any indication, there is a perceptible improvement in India’s judicial system.

Here are those facts :

·             During 5 year period ending Dec 31, 2011(?)

·             No of new cases filed……… ………… 111.60  million

·             No of cases disposed off……………..107.70 million

·             No of cases pending………………………..3.79 million

Assuming that the courts worked for an average of 200 days / year, ( ie: 1000 days in 5 years ), this translates to disposal of nearly 107,700 cases per day !

So , each of those 12,600 judges disposed off ( on an average ), 8.5 cases daily

While admitting 8.85 cases every day !

A total of 17.3 cases in a 4 hour period ! That is some productivity !

Of course ,with the arrival of e-governance, it is anybody’s guess what would happen when 120 million citizens having internet connections can lodge a corruption related complaint against 12 million Government servants , on Lokpal’s web site
