The Indian Court System is 466 years behind schedule!

There are so many cases that have yet to be heard, that it will an estimated 466 years to recover from all the backlog. Just for example, the Delhi High Court spends a paltry 5 minutes on average on every case it hears, but even racing through the cases like that isn’t going to stem the flow of judicial backlog. The court is still waiting to hear tens of thousands of cases, some of which have been delayed for 20 years. This is partly because there are not enough judges in India. There are about 11 judges for every million people in the country.
