‘It’ll take 320 years to clear legal backlog’ – India – The Times of India
It will take the Indian judiciary 320 years to clear the backlog of 31.28 million cases, says Justice V V S Rao of the Andhra Pradesh high court.If the norm of 50 judicial officers per million becomes a reality by 2030 when the country’s population would be 1.5 to 1.7 billion, the number of judges would go up to 1.25 lakh dealing with 300 million cases.A recent study indicated that the number of new cases has direct relationship with increasing literacy rate and awareness, the judge said.

Make lesser laws!
