The Telangana High Court disposed of 88.56% of cases instituted during the past year, Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh said at the court’s 80th Independence Day celebration in Hyderabad. He urged the judiciary to reaffirm faith in the Constitution and strengthen democratic institutions, while seeking continued cooperation between the Bench and the Bar for speedy and qualitative justice.
Singh also listed court modernisation measures, including expanded e-filing, electronic summons and the integration of criminal justice databases. The court said 1,753 school teachers had been trained in child-related laws. Construction of Zone II of the new High Court complex at Rajendra Nagar was about 20.25% complete, against a projected 24.44%.
The disposal figure is useful, but it does not by itself show whether old cases fell, how many matters remain pending or whether judgments met quality standards. Claims that digitisation alone will fix delay are equally simplistic. The real test is whether Telangana publishes clearer data on total pendency, case age and disposal by category, alongside progress on the new complex. Will the next annual report show fewer long-pending cases, not just a high yearly disposal rate?
