A total of 67 benches including one at the Tripura High Court will address 16,988 cases demonstrating a commitment to swift and accessible justice.
The cases slated for disposal encompass various legal realms comprising 5,227 pre-litigation disputes and 11,761 pending court cases. Notably, the issues range from Bank Debt Repayment and Motor Accident Compensation to Consumer Court, Arbitrable Criminal Disputes, Matrimonial Disputes, Check Bounce (NI Act), Other Civil Cases, and personnel matters.
The Tripura High Court bench alone will address 82 cases, emphasizing its integral role in the expansive resolution process.
