HC disposes of 8,389 cases last month
The chief justice's initiative to speed up disposal of cases has showed good results with some 8,389 cases disposed of in the High Court last month.
Chief Justice ABM Khairul Haque told The Daily Star last night that all credit for the improvement goes to the judges and lawyers. If the present trend continues, the backlog of cases will gradually come down.
During the last five months, some 60,000 cases were disposed of, reducing the number of pending cases to 2.97 lakh, sources at the court said.
On assuming office on September 30 last year, Justice Khairul Haque took measures for prompt settlement of more than one lakh criminal cases pending with the HC, according to sources.
