Judge who disposed of 111 cases in one day faces lawyers' ire

When a judge in Andhra Pradesh's Guntur district disposed of a record 111 cases in a single day last week, little did he realise that this will attract ire from members of his own legal fraternity.

While common people have welcomed his move to ensure speedy justice, it has left a section of lawyers at Mangalgiri city civil court fuming.

Junior Civil Judge J.V.V. Satyanarayana Murthy says he is determined to pass more judgments in bulk to provide much-needed relief to litigants. But the lawyers conveyed to him that at this speed they would turn jobless.

A group of lawyers, who earn a fee of Rs.100 to Rs.200 for each hearing, met the judge and urged him to go slow, an official of the Bar Association told IANS.

'The lawyers told him that if he continues delivering judgments at this speed they will suffer starvation. The judge said he is acting in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code and nobody can question him. He said that litigants should not be made to suffer for the fees of lawyers,' A. Sanjeeva Reddy, founder president od the Mangalgiri Bar Association, said.

In the three-and-a-half months since he assumed office, Murthy has disposed of nearly 500 cases, including 111 last Thursday. The court has another 1,000 cases pending. There are an estimated 30 million cases pending in courts across the country. Read More................Judge who disposed of 111 cases in one day faces lawyers' ire
