Delhi Courts Face Rising Pendency Crisis

Delhi's courts are facing a big problem with too many cases waiting to be heard.

At the start of 2026, there are 15.85 lakh cases pending.

Every year, more cases are added than can be completed, making the problem worse.

There are over 700 judges working hard to hear around 28,000 cases each day.

Even though 60% of cases are finished within a year, the number of pending cases keeps growing.

This is a big challenge for the justice system.
