New Delhi: The number of pending cases in various courts is expected to reach the five crore mark in a few months, according to law Minister Kiren Rijiju, who spoke at a function at the Delhi High Court on Tuesday, expressing his displeasure with the issue of pendency.While the Supreme Court and high courts are likely to hear such cases, the true challenge is in the lower courts.It is approaching the five-crore mark.Mr KIt is a subject of great concern, he said.It is really difficult for me to answer it... it is about to reach five crore.
The lower courts' infrastructure is a real problem for me, and the central government and state governments must work together, Rijiju said.Rijiju said he knows that a paperless judiciary would have a major effect on the current justice system.However, things will get faster if all documents are accessible at the push of a button.
