West Bengal SIR: Over 37 lakh appeals stuck in Tribunals as Municipal polls draw near
More than 3.7 million appeals remain pending in India's appellate tribunals, six months after the Supreme Court established them to ease case backlogs. The delay coincides with the upcoming municipal elections in West Bengal, raising concerns about timely justice. Officials say the tribunals lack sufficient judges and infrastructure, contributing to the prolonged waiting period for litigants.
