Lakhs of cases pending in Supreme Court

However, the question is whether the Supreme Court is the way to ban an app? and why there is no agency to investigate the privacy-violating app initially? In India, usually when an app becomes quite popular, then questions arise about its privacy violation.

Then the case moves from the High Court to the Supreme Court, where there are already millions of cases that have been waiting for justice for years. Once the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has become emotional, expressing concern over pending cases in the courts.

The court is the only way to ban the app

 

In November last year, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad released a report, according to which about 59,867 cases are pending in the Indian Supreme Court. While 44.75 lakh other cases are pending in the High Court across the country. Not only this, but more than 3.14 lakh cases are also pending in the district court and its tributary courts.
