Disposal of Cases by Courts

Disposal of cases in the courts is within the domain of the judiciary. However, Government has requested all the High Courts to launch a Mission Mode Programme for reduction of pendency in courts from 01.07.2011 to 31.12.2011. Giving this information in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, Shri Salman Khurshid, Minister of Law & Justice, said that the High Courts have also been requested to give priority to disposal of long pending cases pertaining to senior citizens, minors, disabled and other marginalized groups.
