Pending cases rise nearly 33 lakh in 25 months since December 2022

New Delhi: Pending cases across courts in the country rose by nearly 33 lakh between the end of 2022 and February 7 this year, the government said on Thursday. In a written reply in the Rajya Sabha, Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said while more than 4.87 crore cases were pending as on December 31, 2022, the figure stood at 5.20 crore on February 7.

He said disposal of pending cases in a time-bound manner was within the exclusive domain of the judiciary.

“However, the government is committed towards facilitating an ecosystem for expeditious disposal of cases by the judiciary and reducing pendency, as mandated under Article 21 of the Constitution. To this end, the government set up the National Mission for Justice,” he noted.
