As far as the disposal figure is concerned, 4,47,733 cases were disposed of in 2022 compared to 2,38,588 cases in 2021, which is 53.28% more disposal in 2022 than 2021,” says the analysis.

The percentage of delivery of judgments in 2022 is 51% more than the delivery of judgments in 2021.
According to Orissa HC, “better disposal can be achieved if Odisha judiciary functions with full strength.

The per capita disposal in 2021 is 311 cases whereas it is 577 cases in 2022.”
