Abstract

In 2023, a mere 34 judges of the Indian Supreme Court presided over an estimated 70,000 cases, reflective of the overwhelming backlog of judicial caseload. Representing a population of over 1 billion, the Supreme Court and its lower courts face a substantial workload. This blog aims to examine the distribution of these pending cases and its impact, particularly on the number of under-trial cases.
