Udupi District Courts Overcrowded: 30,000+ Cases Awaiting Resolution

Udupi district courts in Karnataka are grappling with an overwhelming backlog, as reported by The Hindu, with more than 30,000 cases still pending across 22 courts in the district.

The figure, which highlights a serious bottleneck in the local judiciary, encompasses a range of disputes, from civil matters to criminal cases. Judiciary officials say the delay is partly due to limited resources, reduced staff during the pandemic and a surge in filings.

With such a backlog, litigants face prolonged waits and justice is delayed. The judiciary has urged state authorities to allocate additional resources. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
