    "content": "The most challenging issue in the Judiciary is the increasing backlog of cases. The Report indicates we have almost half a million pending cases. Many of them are criminal in nature involving the downtrodden in society who have no powers and no means to get bail and argue their case while outside. They rot in the cells and police remands. Life and labour are lost and generally their social life is disadvantaged. The State has to spend unnecessarily too much money to keep them in the cells. So, we urge the Judiciary to look for fair bond terms considering the situation and the status of the victim or the accused."
