NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra has asked the high courts across the country to suggest measures for speedy disposal of cases to curb pendency and filling up of vacancies in the subordinate judiciary.
In a communication to the chief justices of the high courts, the CJI has suggested that a disposal review mechanism should be put in place keeping in view the pendency of large number of cases in the courts.
“The high courts have already been requested to prepare action plans with cut-off dates for disposal of 10-year and five-year old cases and such plans have to be continuously monitored by committees at the level of high courts and subordinate courts in the light of experience and new ideas,” the letter said.
The CJI said that “experiences show that overall monitoring, review and course correction of any action plan yields optimum results”. (AGENCIES)
