Court Data

Pendency of registered cases in the Supreme Court dropped by 3588 during Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud’s tenure

October 2024 saw the highest institution and disposal of cases in the month compared to October 2022 and 2023

The drop in pendency is a welcome trend given there was a rise last year, but questions about data discrepancy still remain unanswered

The Court disposed of 79 cases more than in August but didn’t manage to surpass the annual high of July

After two months of declining pendency in the Supreme Court, September 2024 saw a reversal of the trend

In its first full month back from summer vacation, the Court’s daily average disposal of cases dropped by 84 compared to July

Pendency in the Supreme Court reduced for the second time in a row after recording an all-time high in June 2024

While the P&H High Court tops the list in absolute numbers, data indicates that improvement in gender representation is largely inadequate
