## ANSWER MINISTER OF LAW AND JUSTICE (SHRI KIREN RIJIJU)

(a): The  total  number  of  pending  cases  including,  violent  crime  against  women since 2014 till date  in  the  Supreme  Court of  India  is  placed  at Annexure-I and  the corresponding information for the High Courts and District & Subordinate Courts is placed at Annexure-II and Annexure-III respectively .

Further, the Supreme Court of India does not maintain the information in the manner as sought for relating to crime against women. As per Supreme Court Subject Categories, Subject Category 1403 deals with 'Matters relating to harassment, cruelty to  women  for  dowry,  dowry  death,  eve  teasing,  domestic  violence,  etc'.  The  total number of pending cases in the above subject category filed since 2014 in Supreme Court  of  India  stands  at  283,  as  retrieved  from  the  Integrated  Case  Management Information System (ICMIS) as on 12.12.2022.

Information  of  cases  relating  to  crime  against  women,  including  violent crimes, in High Court and District and Subordinate Courts is not maintained centrally in  Department  of  Justice.  However,  the  information  relating  to  category  of  'Cases Filed by Women' High Court-wise and State-wise available as per National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG) is placed at Annexure - IV and Annexure-V respectively.

Myriad  factors  come  into  play  in  deciding  the  disposal  of  cases  in  courts which,  inter-alia,  include  availability  of  adequate  number  of  judges  and  judicial officers,  supporting  court  staff  and  physical  infrastructure,  complexity  of  facts involved,  nature  of  evidence,  co-operation  of  stake  holders  viz.  bar,  investigation agencies, witnesses and litigants and proper application of rules and procedures. There are  several  factors  which  may  lead  to  delay  in  disposal  of  cases.    These,  inter-alia, include vacancies of judges, frequent adjournments and lack of adequate arrangement to monitor, track and bunch cases for hearing.

(b): The percentage increase or decrease for pending cases since 2014 w.r.t. the Supreme Court, the High Courts and the District & Subordinate Courts is placed at Annexure-VI .

(c): The  information  for  number  of  cases  disposed  with  respect  to  Supreme Court is not maintained in the manner as sought for. However, the total number of cases  disposed  of  in  the  Supreme  Court  of  India  till  31.10.2022  is  29,109.  The detailed statement of Year-Wise disposal from 2014 to 2022 for High Courts and the District  &  Subordinate  Courts  is  placed  at Annexure-VII and Annexure-VIII respectively.  However,  the  information  with  respect  to  average  time  taken  for disposal is not maintained centrally by the Department of Justice.

(d): Though no such study on effect of COVID-19 pandemic on pendency of cases  has  been  initiated,  post  the  announcement  of  national  lockdown,  several directions  were  issued  from  time  to  time  by  the  respective  High  Courts  to  the Subordinate Courts under their administrative jurisdiction for hearing of urgent civil and criminal  matters  in  virtual  or  physical  mode  depending  on  local  conditions.  A mix of virtual and physical hearings was adopted by the courts as per the situation on the ground.

Under the National eGovernance Plan, an eCourts project is under implementation since 2007 for information and communication technology enablement and outreach for the Indian Judiciary. The project is being implemented under  the  joint  partnership  of  Department  of  Justice,  Government  of  India  and eCommittee,  Supreme  Court  of  India,  in  a  decentralized  manner  through  the respective High Courts. To explore the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in judicial domain, the Supreme Court of India has constituted Artificial Intelligence Committee which  has  mainly  identified  application  of  AI  technology  in  translation  of  judicial documents, assistance in legal research and process automation.

Under  the  supervision  of  the  AI  Committee,  an  Artificial  Intelligence  Tool, SUVAS (Supreme Court VidhikAnuvaad Software) for translating Judicial domain English documents in vernacular languages and vice versa has been developed. AI based Legal Research Assistance  Tool,  SUPACE  (Supreme  Court  Portal  for Assistance  in  Court  Efficiency)  has  been  developed  by  Artificial Intelligence Committee for such purpose.

A  Detailed  Project  Report  (DPR)  has  been  approved  by  the  eCommittee  of Supreme  Court  of  India  for  eCourts  Project  Phase  III  that  includes  components incorporating AI and Blockchain technology that would be developed and procured from  the  best  available  technology  in  the  market  following  the  due  process  of procurement as stipulated by the government.

(e): The  details  of  cases  pending  and  disposed  of  through  Virtual  Courts  for traffic challan, National Lok Adalat, Fast Track Courts and Fast Track Special Courts individual State/UT-wise is at Annexure-IX.

(f): The  details  of  funds  sanctioned  with  respect  to  the  various  courts  and  the success achieved there from are as follows:
