(UNI) Senior Judge of Supreme Court Justice P Sathasivam exhorted the Judicial Officers to take up on priority basis the cases that have been pending in courts for the past five or more years and added that the pendency of the cases should be brought down to zero level.
Justice Sathasivam was addressing the newly recruited Judicial Officers in the valedictory function of year-long Induction Training Programme of Judicial Officers of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh Judicial Academy here. These 168 Judicial Officers would be holding their courts from July 1. Justice Sathasivam hoped that Punjab and Haryana High Court would issue necessary instructions to the judges at district level regarding disposal of pending cases on priority basis.
