Between 1 January and 30 June, it resolved a total of 890 civil cases including eight old cases of the previous year and the Region/State High Courts completed 1,981 criminal cases and 2,209 civil cases.

The year 2022 is the fifth five-year judicial strategic plan and all should keep making efforts to meet the objectives of the plan and serve dutifully without any corruption, he urged. — TWA/GNLM
