Institution and disposal rates dip at the top court in the end of first quarter

In a month where the Court worked for just 15 days, pendency increased by over 400 cases

The registry’s response to an RTI filed by SCO shows that 24 cases have been pending for 30 years or more. We dig into the details

The Court’s institution and disposal rate last month was the highest over the past five Februaries

Pendency continues to have a healthy drop in 2024, though the week-long Holi break of March might slow down the developments of February

Despite seven judges being occupied by the AMU hearings for eight days, the Court managed to dispose of 5,453 cases in January

The pendency number seems alarming but it needs to be viewed in the context of past figures, improved access and a change in counting method

The Supreme Court disposed of a record number of cases in 2023. Will it be enough to tackle the growing pile of pendency?

Resurrecting the constitutional function has the potential to change the way the Supreme Court of India operates

In 2023, a Constitution Bench has assembled almost each month to tackle matters of public importance

Constitution Benches assembled 55 times in the first half of 2023. None of them were seven and nine-judge Benches.
