Delhi High Court Rules on Availability of Data on Delayed Judgments
In 2009, a former judicial officer requested data from the Delhi High Court on judgments delivered more than two months after arguments ended. The court initially stated it did not maintain such data, but the Chief Information Commissioner ordered retrieval of related records. After a prolonged legal process, the Delhi High Court ruled in 2026 that it is not obligated to compile information it does not already hold. However, critics argue the data exists in scattered, poorly maintained formats, highlighting deficiencies in the court's IT systems.
