The Supreme Court Today (Feb 3) raised serious concerns about the massive case backlog in the Allahabad High Court, which is operating at half its full strength. With each judge handling 15,000–20,000 cases, the court emphasized the urgent need to fill vacant judge posts. The issue came to light during a 95-year-old woman’s plea, highlighting the severe delays in justice. The court stressed that swift action is necessary to clear over 11.4 lakh pending cases and restore efficiency in the judicial system.
