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
