Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda informed the Legislative Council on Wednesday that 80% of the cases pending before AC (Assistant Commissioner) courts in the State had been disposed of in the last two-and-a-half years and steps had been taken to dispose of the remaining.
Replying to the question by member Ramoji Gowda in the legislative council on Wednesday in order to address the issue of pending cases, the government had appointed 21 Special Assistant Commissioners.
“When this government came to power, there were 37,787 cases that were pending for over five years and 59,339 cases that were pending for more than one year. Following the measures taken by the department, the number of cases with a history of more than five years has been reduced to 3,372, and those pending for over one year have decreased to 10,889 cases. Similarly, there were 10,774 cases before tahsildar courts and now it has been reduced to 506”, he said.
Mr. Krishna Byre Gowda said that although the rules state that AC courts should not keep cases pending for over six months, their number of pending cases, including those over 10-12 years, is due to those concerned not bothering to look into the issue.
Solution soon
Replying to the question of D.S. Arun over the issue of the server regarding the Kaveri 2.0 software, the Minister said that the technical glitches in the digital linking of Kaveri-2.0 and e-swattu had resulted in server issues, and it would be sorted out soon. He sought to clarify that Aadhaar authentication has been made mandatory to prevent misuse and check frauds.
