Lawyers' Absence and Allahabad HC Backlog Drive Judicial Delays in Uttar Pradesh
Uttar Pradesh's courts face significant delays, with over 1.19 crore pending cases largely due to lawyers' frequent unavailability, including strikes, as reported by the National Judicial Data Grid. Witness absence and accused absconding also contribute to delays. Meanwhile, the Allahabad High Court holds the highest backlog among India's high courts, with 1.22 million cases pending, including nearly 54,000 cases over 30 years old, highlighting a disproportionate share of long-pending litigation in the higher judiciary.
