Why is there a high pendency of cases in the Supreme Court despite the full force of judges

Investigating the reasons behind the Supreme Court's pendency crossing 82,000, despite a considerable number of judges.

Complexity of cases: The Supreme Court often deals with complex and intricate legal matters that require thorough examination and deliberation.
Appeals and reviews: The Court hears appeals and reviews from lower courts, adding to the workload and prolonging the resolution of cases.
Limited judicial resources: Despite having a substantial number of judges, the sheer volume of cases surpasses the capacity of the Court to handle them efficiently.
Procedure and delays: Legal procedures, adjournments, and delays requested by parties involved can contribute to the prolonged pendency of cases.
Backlog accumulation: Over the years, the accumulation of pending cases has led to a backlog that continues to increase over time.

These factors collectively contribute to the high pendency of cases in the Supreme Court, despite the efforts of the judges.
