. For the matters from

five_year
plans, thereby giving special atention on cases in phases
i.e. 1991
to 1995, 1996 to 2000 and so on.

. Listing of only such cases before

the Hon,ble Couns which
are ripe for final hearing or where such orders have
to be passed
which may affect the rights of the parties in one way o,

Where merely ministerial work is required and no effective

In order to dispense expeditious justice in respect

particular t)?e of cases or persons, the Supreme
of
Court (Exiedited)
cases and the cases involving Senior Citizens
are Urt"d o, thu toi
of the list.

as to completely eliminate the old pendency,

cases are
listed in a serial starting with the oldest

. Of late, cases in which lower courr proceedings have

been
 stayed are being listed before the Hon'ble Courts.

In its additional report Hon,ble the Arrears Committee has

also suggested the following steps to be taken to reduce the
pendency of the subordinate couns:-

.
Effective monitoring of cases by presiding offlcers of
every couft is of extreme necessity and importance.

. Courr's of civil judges and judicial magistrate need

immediate aftention in this regard for the reason that ther€ are
couns at threshold and hence pendency in these couns
is almost to
the extent of 52 lac. and odd.

. In Criminal courts each and every judicial

officer should
devote some dme to apprise himself about cases pending
in his
coufi, stage at which matters are pending, reasons for delav and if
orders for follow up procedure have been passed, whether same
are being compiled with and executed by suppor|ing staff or
not.
. Presiding officers of subordinate
couns are required to be
getting themselves awarc of cases pending in their court,s so
as to
identily nature of cases, classify those which may be disposed of
expeditiously and do the needful. If cases which can be disposed
of in a sho er time and are attended at the earliest, it will reduce
number of cases on board and their by giving more time to the
officer concemed. It would also be a physiological booster to
attend more cases in a effective manler

. Every judicial officer should know that any flaw in

process which goes to the root of the matter, may u.ltimately
vitiate judgment passed by him and exercise of remand by
supe or coun will oDIy add to agony of duplicating rial of same
mafter besides delay in disposal and wastage of cou s time.
. Weeldy meeting of all judicial officers
in distict judgeship
should be held where in new officers who have some practical
protlems or some confusion in their functioning may discuss the
same with senior officer this
will improve day to day furctioning
ofjudicial officers.
. Tiaining of judicial officer needs inclusion of more
pmctical aspects to apprise them about practical complication
and
problem which they may face while attending cases in courts
instead of simply repeating theorctical knowledge of various
institutes.

. Tlmely rccruiEnent and appoirtr[ent

of Judicral officers
and as well as their supporting staff are required
to be taken.
. Newly created courts which is almost 1/3rd of total
saactioned strength are non functional due to apathy
on the pan of
the state govemment. There is need meedlg t]rern functional
immediately or at the earliest it demand of the time-

. It would be appropriate that

we should ensure at least 3000
judicial officers always available in subordinate
courts for taking
up new and current cases including at least specified
200 couni
for old mafters.

. Number of class III and class IV staff and also

stenogmphers needs to be increased.

. Chief secretary Govemment of U.p should be directed

,
find out
to
a way so as to ensurc that no criminal case
is adjourned
more than once of two and that to for genuine
reasons for want of
formal prosecution of witnesses who are government
servants.
. In our view ptesiding officer should be instructed to
ensure that once prosecudon witness comes his
evidence must be
 recorded on rha da and if evi
