New Delhi: The number of court cases waiting to be resolved in India has increased by almost 33 lakh (3.3 million) since the end of 2022. As of December 31, 2022, there were over 4.87 crore (48.7 million) cases. By February 7 of this year, that number had grown to 5.20 crore (52 million), according to Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal in a reply to the Rajya Sabha.
He explained that the responsibility of settling these cases on time is up to the judiciary. However, the government is dedicated to creating an environment that helps the courts work faster and reduce the backlog of cases, in line with Article 21 of the Constitution. To help achieve this goal, the government has established the National Mission for Justice.
