India’s Law Minister, Veerappa Moily, urges high courts to dispose off during 2011, at least 65 % of the pending cases.
That is a mere 17.7 million cases out of the 27.2 million pending cases !
If courts work for 200 days in a year, that works out to disposing off some 88,594 cases everyday.
But honorable judges dare not ask the minister,
“ Sir, can you fix an upper limit to the number of new cases that we should admit – which, currently works out to 75,774 everyday ? “
No wonder, 24 % of pending cases are 5-10 years old.
But then, proposed Lokpal Bill envisages disposal of corruption related cases within one year !
We may need 1000 Lok Ayuktas in each state !
