Extract from the article:
The Supreme Court has declined to hear a plea concerning a staggering backlog of more than five crore cases in India.
?
Currently, there are 82,397 pending cases in the Supreme Court, with 27,675 cases less than a year old.
?
In comparison, the US Supreme Court accepts only 100-150 cases annually out of over 7,000 submitted cases.
?
The issue of mounting pending cases poses a significant challenge to the Indian judiciary system.
?
This backlog not only signifies delay in justice delivery but also raises questions about the efficiency and capacity of the legal system to handle such a massive load of cases. The numbers highlight a pressing need for systemic reforms and innovative approaches to streamline and expedite the judicial process to ensure timely justice for all.

My Take:
Dispose them off !
"In my earlier blog post, I emphasized the urgent need to dispose of pending cases efficiently.
?
It's alarming to see that the backlog has only grown over the years, indicating a systemic issue that requires immediate attention.
