India has just 15 judges per million: India Justice Report 2025

The India Justice Report 2025 flagged major judicial gaps, including high vacancy rates and heavy case backlogs. With just 15 judges per million people, India falls far short of the recommended 50. District court judges face over 2,000 cases each, while high courts like Allahabad have up to 15,000 per judge. Gender and caste representation also remains uneven.
