The Supreme Court is currently grappling with a massive backlog of 82,989 pending cases, despite resolving 37,259 cases. The backlog is attributed to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, which disrupted court proceedings. Chief Justice Chandrachud introduced measures to streamline operations, and a Special Lok Adalat successfully resolved 1,100 cases out of 2,200. The court also issued directives to expedite case resolution and emphasized the need for swift trials to uphold public trust in the legal system.
