## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF LAW AND JUSTICE; MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE

## (SHRI ARJUN RAM MEGHWAL)

- (a): The  detailedstatementof  State-wise  (including  Rajasthan)  court  cases  pending and disposed of during the last three years, including the current year, as per information available on National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG), is at Annexure-I for Supreme Court, Annexure-II for High Courts and Annexure-III for District and Subordinate Courts.

The detailed statement of State-wise (including Rajasthan) rate of increase in pendency of court cases,over the last eight years in the Supreme Court of India, High Courts  and  District  &  Subordinate  Courts,  as  per  information  available  on  National Judicial  Data  Grid  (NJDG),  is  at Annexure-IV,  Annexure-V  and  Annexure-VI respectively.

There are several reasons that lead to pendency of cases in courts which, interalia , include availability of physical infrastructure and supporting court staff, 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. Other factors  that  lead  to  delay  in  disposal  of  cases  include  lack  of  prescribed  timeframe  by respective courts for disposal of various kinds of cases, frequent adjournments and lack of adequate arrangement to monitor, track and bunch cases for hearing. Moreover, in case of  pendency  of  criminal  cases,  the  Criminal  Justice  System  functions  on  assistance  by various  agencies  viz.  Police,  Prosecution,  Forensic  Labs,  Handwriting  Experts  and Medico-Legal Experts. Delay in providing assistance by allied agencies also entails delay in disposal of cases.

- (b): The  information  is  not  available  in  the  manner  sought.  As  per  information available on National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG), the detailed statement of cases pending for more than five to ten years and ten to twenty years, as on 12.12.2023, is as under:

| No. of Years   |   Supreme Court | High Court   | District Courts   |
|----------------|-----------------|--------------|-------------------|
| 5-10 years     |           14840 | 68,94,578    | 68,94,578         |
| 10 to 20 years |            4735 | 32,25,690    | 32,25,690         |

In case of Rajasthan, the cases pending for more than five to ten years and ten to twenty years, is as under:

| No. of Years   | Rajasthan High Court   | Rajasthan District Courts   |
|----------------|------------------------|-----------------------------|
| 5-10 years     | 1,15,712               | 3,93,739                    |
| 10 to 20 years | 87,324                 | 77,909                      |

- (c): The disposal of pending cases and prescribing timelines for judgements/disposal of cases is within the exclusive domain of the judiciary and the Central Government has no directrole in the said matter.
- (d): At  present,  there  is  no  proposal  before  the  government  to  launch  a  special campaign or separately setting up special LokAdalatsother than the Lok Adalats already

being organized by NALSA for disposal of such cases, except cases of serious nature. However, the Government has undertaken several initiatives to provide for setting up of special courts/Benches in order to aid speedy disposal of pending cases.  The highlights of the same are as follows:

- i. For  the  safety  and  security  of  women  and  children,  the  central  government  has approved a scheme for setting up Fast Track Special Courts (FTSCs) across the country  for  the  expeditious  disposal  of  pending  cases  of  Rape  under  IPC  and crimes under Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act, 2012. As  of  31.10.2023,  a  total  of  758  FTSCs  including  412  exclusive  POCSO (ePOCSO)  Courts  are  functional  in  30  States/UTs  across  the  country.  FTSCs Scheme has been further extended for 3 more years i.e. from FY 2023-24 to FY 2025-26.
- ii. Special  Courts  for  lawmakers  in  order  to  fast  track  criminal  cases  involving elected  Members  of  Parliament  (MPs)  /  Member  of  Legislative  Assembly (MLAs).Ten (10) special courts are functional in nine (9) States/UTs.
- iii. A notable legislative reform undertaken in this direction is the enactment of The Commercial Courts Act, 2015 which provides for the establishment of Dedicated and  Designated  Commercial  Courts  for  adjudication  of  commercial  disputes. Through  this  specialized  dispute  resolution  machinery,  it  aims  to  transform  the commercial litigation landscape in the country by adopting robust and proactive procedures.
- iv. As a part of the National eGovernance Plan, the Government has launched eCourts Mission  Mode  Project  wherein  25  Virtual  Courts  in  20  States/UTs  have  been operationalized  to  handle  traffic  challan  cases.  More  than  3.95  crore  cases  have been  handled  by  25  virtual  courts  and  in  more  than  44  lakhs  (44,48,543)  cases online fine of more than Rs. 466.32 crores has been realized till 31.10.2023. These courts  have  enabled  litigants  to  pay  their  fines  or  contest  the  claims  24X7  from their preferred location, thus saving time and resources for both the court system and the litigants.
- v. The Family Courts Act, 1984 provides for the establishment of Family Courts by the State Governments  in consultation with the High Courts to promote conciliation  and  secure  speedy  settlement  of  disputes  relating  to  marriage  and family affairs. As per the Act, it is mandatory for the State Government to set up a Family Court for every city or a town whose population exceeds one million. In other areas of the States,  the  Family  Courts  may  be  set  up  if  the State

Governments deems it necessary. As on 30.09.2023, there were 774 Family Courts functional in the country which had disposed 6,28,997 cases.

- vi. Lok  Adalats  are  being  given  impetus  as  an  Alternative  Disputes  Resolution Mechanism available to common people. It is a forum where the disputes/ cases pending  in  the  court  of  law  or  at  pre-litigation  stage  are  settled/  compromised amicably. There are three types of Lok Adalats: National Lok Adalats, State Lok Adalats  and  Permanent  Lok  Adalats.  Mobile  Lok  Adalats  are  also  organized  in various parts of the country, which travel from one location to another to resolve disputes  in  order  to  facilitate  the  resolution  of  disputes  through  a  mediated mechanism.  Since  June,  2020,  online  Lok  Adalat/e-Lok  Adalats  have  been organized virtually that facilitates party interaction and exchange of information, allowing  people  to  effectively  participate  from  their  homes  with  the  help  of internet technology.

(e): At present, there is no specific long standing demand from Rajasthan for funds in order to set up new courts.The primary responsibility for development of infrastructure facilities for judiciary rests with the State Governments. To supplement the resources of the State Governments/UTs, the Union Government has been implementing a Centrally Sponsored  Scheme  (CSS)  for  the  Development  of  Infrastructure  Facilities  for  the Judiciary  since  1993-94  by  providing  financial  assistance  to  the  States/UTs  in  the prescribed fund-sharing pattern between the Centre and States/UTs. A sum of Rs. 10403 crores has been released under the Scheme so far since its inception, out of which Rs. 6959.16 crores (67%) has been released since 2014-15.

As far as the funding to the State Government of Rajasthan is concerned, a sum of  Rs.  427.65  crore  has  been  released  to  the  State  Government  of  Rajasthan  under  the scheme since its inception. The year-wise release of funds during the last 3 years to the State Government of Rajasthan is as follows:

|   2020-21 |   2021-22 |   2022-23 |   2023-24 |   Total (Rs. in Lakh) |
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------------------|
|      2990 |      4150 |      7166 |      2787 |                 17093 |
