<strong>Court</strong> has been declining respectively. During the Plan period, the target was to reduce the old<br />
pending cases by 10% every year, whereas in totality the case was reduced by 9.09% year i.e.<br />
reduction of pending cases during the Plan period was 31.03%. Although, the target to reduce cases<br />
exceeding two years to zero could not be reached, the number of cases exceeding two years for the<br />
first year stood at 6,752 and by the end of the fourth year the pending cases stood at 4,330.<br />
From the overall data of the <strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Court</strong>, it can be observed that there is a decrease in the<br />
registration of new cases and speed of disposal of cases has increased. <strong>The</strong> overall description in<br />
