Only 15 judges per million population in the country: 2025 India Justice Report

A 2025 report reveals India's judicial system faces critical challenges, with only 15 judges per million people, far below the Law Commission's recommended 50. High court vacancies stand at 21%, burdening existing judges with heavy caseloads, like 15,000 cases per judge in Allahabad. While women's representation in district courts has increased to 38.3%, it remains low in higher courts.
