New Delhi: Pendencen cases in a lower court have soared to a new record, crossing the four-crore sign for the first time.
On Tuesday, the total delayed case in the District Court and subordinates stand at 4,00.25,060.
It was 3.2 crores at the beginning of the Covid pandemic in March 2020.
In just three levels, including the Supreme Court and 25 High Courts, Liah Cases have increased significantly in the past half a year for one and a half years, of 3.7 crores In March 2020 to 4.6 crore now – almost one case crore was added during this period.
SC only has 70,000 cases currently delayed, which is 60,600 in March last year.
One reason behind a significant increase in continibility is the inability of the sending system of justice to adapt to new challenges and quickly migrate to digital formats and e-courts systems.
The software is now used by each court to receive e-filing, e-salary court costs, and e-call problems.
Problems such as video conferencing, broadband, high-speed internet connectivity and computerized courts have long been handled.
After the outbreak of Covid and Kuncian pandemic, there has been doubts and the initial reluctance of the Association of Bars in several countries that refuse to receive e-courts and digital hearings.
A higher court too, does not force them or start a full court process even in the state of the state where high-speed internet connectivity is not a problem.
The Ministry of Law from time to time has written to the APEX court and the High Court to make it mandatory for e-filing petitions, payment of court fees electronically and e-mail problems via email.
However, restrictions on commercial courts, instructions for this direction have not been made for other courts, including the High Court.
Encouraging loudly to implement this judicial reform, legal services, with the help of committees-e SC, recently formed a subcommittee consisting of seven high court judges to design an e-register model that will replace that will replace that will be replaced manually.
Other sub-committees consisting of HC judges and domain experts have been formed by e-committees to extend the e-courts allowance for three marginalized parts identified – women, LGBTQIA + communities with disabilities.
For decades now, the court can never function with full force considering the big judge’s vacancies.
Against the strength of sanctions of 24,490 judges in the District Court and subordinates, the current strength is 19,367.
This court continues to have more than 5,000 jobs for at least a decade now.
25 HC with 465 empty posts Judges are the worst in history.
Times View: Come in the background of the case deposit, a sharp increase in the continuation in the last 18 months is very worrying.
Justice should not ignore this development and find creative ways to reduce fat.
