💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India has noted that there are 7 lakh pending criminal appeals in the high courts and urged the central government to expedite the clearance of judicial appointments. The Allahabad High Court, which has the most pending cases, is functioning with only 79 out of 11 sanctioned judges. Similarly, the Bombay, Calcutta, and Delhi High Courts are also operating below their sanctioned strengths.
