The Madras High Court has created a record in disposal of cases by registering its highest ever Case Clearance Rate (CCR) of 114% in 2022.
109% registered CCR recorded in 2021.
A CCR beyond 100% signifies the court had not just matched the number of cases instituted in a particular year with the number that were disposed of in the same year but had also gone a step ahead by clearing considerable number of backlog cases accumulated over the years.
1,61,810 cases were instituted in the principal seat of the High Court in Chennai and its Madurai Bench between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022.
The High Court had registered a CCR of 106.21% in 2018, 112.77% in 2019 and 103.23% in 2020 too.
