The Story in Brief
Telangana High Court disposed 88.56% of cases instituted in the past year, Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh said at the 80th Independence Day celebration. He urged the legal fraternity to rededicate to constitutional ideals and remember Mahatma Gandhi's advice to consider the last person in the queue. The court processed 90,357 new cases and disposed 80,020, The Hindu reports.
The Chief Justice highlighted digitisation progress, with 14.13 crore pages of High Court records and 8.89 crore pages of district records scanned. The new High Court building zone II is 20-25% complete. Legal awareness programmes trained 1,753 teachers on child-related laws, and over 500 girls participated in a 2K run. The state allocated Rs 751.45 crore for judicial infrastructure.
The Indian Opinion
The Telangana High Court's 88.56% disposal rate is commendable, but the narrative of a uniformly efficient judiciary risks overlooking the massive backlog in district courts. The Chief Justice's call for constitutional commitment is timely, yet rhetoric alone won't clear pending cases. The real test will be whether the digitisation and infrastructure investments translate into faster disposal across all levels in the next financial year.
