Why did the Supreme Court's pendency cross 82,000 despite full force of 34 judges most of the time in past two years
What factors contributed to the increase in Supreme Court's pending cases despite the presence of 34 judges?
Several factors contributed to the increase in the Supreme Court's pending cases despite having 34 judges:
- Increase in litigation due to various social, economic, and political factors.
- Lengthy legal procedures and appeals process that prolong cases.
- Inadequate court infrastructure and support staff to handle the caseload effectively.
- Complexity of cases requiring thorough examination and deliberation.
- Unfilled vacancies in the judiciary resulting in additional burden on existing judges.
- Mounting backlog caused by the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting court operations and delaying hearings.
- Inefficiencies in case management and allocation of resources within the court system.
