Kolkata Magistrates Face Skewed Criminal Caseloads: One Handles 9,331, Another Just 1

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • Sk Jafar Ali, a magistrate at the Bankshall metropolitan court, has an overwhelming caseload of 9,331 old criminal cases.
  • His colleagues, Debarati Dey and Annu Gupta, also manage extensive backlogs of 8,819 and 8,577 cases respectively.
  • In contrast, some magistrates are assigned as few as one to three cases, highlighting a disparity in workload.
  • Total pending criminal cases in Kolkata exceed 78,376, with authorities attributing the backlog to police delays and judicial officer shortages.
  • The situation raises concerns about the judicial system's functionality, as delays infringe upon defendants' rights under Article 21.
