DR. G. RANJITH REDDY:

## Will the Minister of LAW AND JUSTICE be pleased to state:

- (a) whether it is true that one of the main reasons for pendency and piling up of cases in courts is due to adjournments;
- (b) whether any proposal is proposed to be brought by the Government to put limit on adjournments  of  court  as  opined  by  the  Supreme  Court  or  High  Court  on  several occasions;
- (c)  if  not,  whether  the  Government  is  considering  to  persuade  Supreme  Court  for fixing a limited number of adjournments in a case for speedy disposal of cases; and (d) if so, the details thereof?

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

- (a) to (d): Time taken for disposal of a case depends on several factors such as category of case (civil or criminal), complexity of facts involved, nature of evidence, co-operation of stakeholders viz . bar, investigation agencies, witnesses and litigants besides the availability of physical infrastructure, supporting court staff and applicable rules of procedure.  There are several factors which may lead to delay in disposal of cases.  These, inter-alia, include vacancies  of  judges,  frequent  adjournments,  number  of  revisions  /  appeals  and  lack  of

adequate  arrangement  to  monitor,  track  and  bunch  cases  for  hearing.    As  such  it  is  not practicable to assess the average delay in disposal of cases due to adjournments alone.

In  order  to  expedite  the  trial  of  Court  cases  a  number  of  legislative  changes  have been made in procedural laws, which include provisions for limiting adjournments of court proceedings  in  criminal  and  civil  matters  as  contained  in  Section  309  of  the  Code  of Criminal  Procedure,  1973  and  order  XVII  of  the  Code  of  Civil  Procedure,  1908.    The Government has adopted a co-ordinated approach to assist judiciary for phased liquidation of arrears and pendency in judicial systems, which, inter-alia , involves better infrastructure for courts including computerisation, increase in strength of judicial officers / judges, policy and legislative measures in the areas prone to excessive litigation and emphasis on human resource development.
