Udupi Courts Overburdened: 30,000+ Cases Awaiting Hearing Across 22 Courts

Udupi district courts are currently overwhelmed, with more than 30,000 pending cases spread across 22 courts, according to a recent report by The Hindu.

The figure, which combines criminal, civil and family law matters, suggests that many cases have been waiting for hearings for several years, placing a heavy burden on judges and lawyers alike.

Such delays hurt citizens seeking justice and strain the local economy. Courts and the state judiciary committee are exploring options such as additional judges, faster case‑management systems and alternative dispute resolution to curb the backlog. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
