MLSA member secretary SB Bahalkar said, “While studying pendency from various courts we found that some matters were pending for over a decade. Complainants were not turning up in court despite repeated attempts. In many cases, complainants were dead or accused had died or witnesses in the cases were not turning up. The courts were unaware about it and used to give date after date leading to pendency. With the party not turning up despite repeated attempts, it was decided to dispose off the cases.”
According to Bahalkar, the cases that were resolved involved petty offences like grievance hurts, motor accidents etc.
