CONGRATULATIONS ! MAHARASHTRA STATE JUDICIARY

Here is what Times of India ( 02 July, 2012 ) reports re: disposal of Pending Cases by Maharashtra State Judiciary during 2 year period ( 30/06/2010 to 30/06/2012 ):

• Opening Balance ………………………. 41.36 Lakh  cases

• Added during 2 years ………………. 39.74 Lakh

     Total ……………………………………………81.09  Lakh

• Less

     Disposed off during 2 years……….50.60  Lakh

  

     Closing Balance ……………………………. 29.49  Lakh

  

     Considering that the Courts work for,

• 200 days / year

• 3 hours  / day  

this works out to an unbelievable , 1.157  cases per SECOND of each working day !

It is anybody’s guess as to what will happen when millions of cases get added every year under the proposed Lokpal Act
