How many pending cases are there in India?
Well, as of today there are approximately 4.3 crores (i.e, 43 Million) pending cases in India out of 5 crores (i.e, 50 million) cases which is very disappointing in India. Due to this many backlogs in our judiciary, our nation is still not upgrading and moving forward. India has the largest number of pending cases in the world, so this makes sense to increase the number of Judges and lawyers in our courts in India. According to one report in order to complete the number of pending cases in India with the current number of advocates it would take more than 300 years. A lot of injustice is caused in India due to this number of cases.
How to Increase Number of Judges of Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of India has 33 Judges who are appointed by the president of India. The number of judges in the Supreme court is not enough to maintain the country’s active cases. The parliament of India is the only body that can increase the number of Judges in the Supreme court the legislative assembly. It is less likely that the parliament may take action on this matter and increase the number of cases. As the parliament already has a lot of work and pressure. But it is actually necessary to increase the number of judges in our country to make the judiciary more active and operational.
