Courts

All courts, save for the Village Court, have a high number of pending cases. The six (6) metropolitan court jurisdictions are identified by a dot . Hover over any district to see data on that district, or dot to see data on that metro court. Click on any district to be taken to a detailed data view of that particular district. The colour coding in each map indicates where each district sits in relation to the national average, or in relation to a national standard. Note: the colours do not provide a score, but indicate if the district sits below, on, or above the mean (measured by standard deviation from the mean) or the national standard. Maps 1 to 3 show the percentage of pending cases in Magistrate, Sessions and Nari-O-Shishu Courts. Map 4 shows the mean number of cases listed for trial on a daily basis in the Magistrates’ Court. The mean caseload per magistrate / judge is shown in map 5. The ratio of judges and magistrates to 100,000 people is shown in map 6.
