Madras High Court has given a record disposal of cases and could give better performance throughout India, Chief Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari said today at Coimbatore while inaugurating a Judiciary Guest House here.


After the pandemic and his taking over as chief justice, the High Court has disposed of 109 percent of cases, which has now gone up to 121 percent, Bhandari said. 

It is not only High Court but the subordinate judiciary has disposed of many cases, he said, adding that this was achieved despite the shortage of judges in courts. To prove his point, Bhandari said that assuming that one lakh cases were filed
in a month or a year, the court could dispose of 1.09 lakh cases, percentage-wise it would be 109 percent.


The Chief Justice appreciated the State government, Chief Minister, chief secretary, Finance and Law minister for their support and allocating necessary building, lands and funds for the development of the infrastructure needed
for judiciary.


State finance minister, Palanivel Thiagarajan and Law Miister, Raghupathy, senior judges, and officials were present at the inauguration.
