President Abdul Hamid has addressed the occasion of Supreme Court Day online by calling on judges presiding over the country's courts to ensure that "justice-seekers do not have to keep coming back to the courts for days even after the verdict in a case is announced."

Currently, nearly 3.7 million cases are waiting to be disposed of at the courts, including the Supreme Court.

Law Minister Anisul Huq on Wednesday said the government has planned to reduce the backlog of around 37 lakh cases by 5-6 lakh in the New Year.
