Chief Justice (CJ) Bishwambhar Prasad Shrestha has said the Supreme Court (SC) is committed to clearing the cases older than five years by taking up the act as a mission.
Talking to journalists here Monday, the CJ shared that the SC has only 40 cases older than 10 years that are left to be cleared and added that processes are ongoing to clear the cases registered five years ago.
The oldest cases are the ones registered in 2067 BS and the cases are being reduced through the case management system.
Saying that processes for the reforms of the SC have been initiated, Shrestha argued that the number of cases at the SC have increased also due to some laws enacted in the country in recent times.
CJ Shrestha said that management of officials and judges is taking place on the basis of the load of the cases in the courts.
