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

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

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

A Court returned after a seven-week summer break in July 2024 to record the first drop in month-on-month pendency since February

Even as it is normal for the pendency figure to rise during the vacation, the Court has its task cut-out in the second half after June 2024

The month of May 2024 ended with 82,308 pending cases—the highest pendency figure for this year

Fewer working days and two nine-judge benches in April meant that the Court closed the last full working month with a high pendency

In a month where the Court worked for just 15 days, pendency increased by over 400 cases

Pendency continues to have a healthy drop in 2024, though the week-long Holi break of March might slow down the developments of February

The SC maintained its steady disposal rate January 2024, leading to a reduction in pendency numbers from December 2023
