CJI Surya Kant Highlights Reduction in Case Backlog and Role of Technology
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant stated that the backlog of court cases in India has significantly decreased compared to 10 or 20 years ago, attributing improvements to technology-driven schemes for faster case disposal. He emphasized that reasons for backlog are being addressed systematically. On queries about fake harassment cases and judge appointments, he noted that each case is fact-specific and declined to discuss the Supreme Court Collegium's recommendations. These remarks were made at a National Legal Services Authority conference in Indore.
