For implementing the policy, a committee was set up in the state but the performance is unsatisfactory stated Chief Justice Gupta. From 2013 litigation policy is affect in the state but main cases  are kept at “ adjourn sine dire”   causing problem to regular function of courts.

On September 17 last, the committee proposed disposal of such cases  But the division bench of Chief Justice Deepak Gupta and justice S. Talapatra was not pleased.  By an interim order, the division bench for proper implementation of litigation policy issued some guidelines to the state committee and district level committees. As per high court guidelines the litigation committees should perform their work. The case will come up for hearing after eight weeks in high court.

Besides the division bench also directed the  state government to submit an affidavit  how the granted amount    over one crore rupees was spent for developing the working skills of state lawyers.
