Allahabad High Court flooded with litigation, yet working with 50% vacancies: Supreme Court

Despite the Allahabad High Court being overwhelmed with a backlog of cases, it continues to function with over 50 vacancies in judicial posts. The court has been flooded with numerous cases, and the shortage of judges has compounded the issue of delayed justice. The Supreme Court recently acknowledged this situation, urging the central government to fill the vacancies to ease the burden on the judiciary. The shortage of judicial personnel is a significant challenge for the court’s efficiency and timely delivery of justice, prompting calls for swift reforms.
