Justice BV Nagarathna Criticizes Govt Bodies For Wasting Resources Through Frivolous Litigation

Justice BV Nagarathna strongly criticized government bodies for engaging in frivolous litigation, calling it a waste of judicial time and public resources. She highlighted that nearly half of litigation in Indian courts stems from government departments pursuing hopeless cases, clogging the justice system. Stressing the need for accountability and responsible decision-making, she urged governments to adopt mediation and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. The remarks reflect judicial concern over systemic inefficiencies and the urgent call for policy reforms to reduce litigation burden on courts.
