The Supreme Court administration has asked the subordinate civil courts and Artha Rin Adalats (Money Loan Courts) concerned across the county to dispose of cases through mediation in line with the provisions of relevant laws in order to reduce the huge backlog.

SC Registrar Md Ali Akbar issued a notification to this effect today.

Meanwhile, the High Court authorities today issued another notification asking the lower courts to give the details, including the numbers of the cases disposed of by them and those pending with those courts till February 28, to the SC registrar general's office in 10 days.
