Governments are main contributors to malady of pendency of cases: Punjab and Haryana High Court

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has highlighted the government’s significant role in the growing pendency of legal cases. The court criticized the state’s failure to address procedural inefficiencies and administrative delays that contribute to the backlog. Issues such as inadequate infrastructure, insufficient staff, and delayed appointments of judges were pinpointed as major problems. The court urged the government to take immediate action to streamline the judicial process and improve case management. The persistence of such issues affects the timely delivery of justice and adds to the existing strain on the legal system, underscoring the need for reform and better resource allocation.
