THE WAITING ROOM
In Rajasthan, the courts are open.
Every hour at current rates: 123 new cases filed.
152 decided. The backlog shrinks by −29.
This is the backlog. It is not an abstraction.
THE WAIT
26.7 lakh cases are waiting in Rajasthan's district courts. The middle of the backlog has already been waiting about 24 months. A backlog this big is not going to move on its own.
Cases waiting to be decided.
These are court cases that have been filed but not yet disposed. We count everything that is still open on the day the source numbers were published — including cases that are only a few days old and cases that have been pending for years.
Every one of these is a person waiting for their day in court.
About how long a pending case has been waiting in court.
This is an estimate of the middle of the backlog — roughly how old a typical pending case is. It is not the age of any one case. Courts publish cases grouped into age buckets (0–1 year, 1–3 years, and so on), and we estimate from those buckets.
Half the cases pending today have been waiting longer than this.
How many cases courts finish for every 100 new ones they get.
If this number is 100, courts are keeping pace with new filings. Below 100 means the backlog is growing. Above 100 means courts are catching up. We calculate it from the monthly filing and disposal totals published in the source dashboard.
Courts are finally clearing faster than new cases come in. The backlog built up over years is another story.
Districts where several pressure signals line up at once.
A district lands on this list when it combines a large backlog of pending cases with slower clearance or longer waits than the state average. It is a signal for closer inspection, not a finding about any specific court or official.
Where the backlog is heaviest, or the wait is longest, or the pace is slowest.
These numbers add scale and persistence to the headline backlog. They are scenarios and signals from the same published data, not predictions.
6,26,191 pending cases are already older than 5 years.
Backlog shrank by 1.6% of the pending pile last month.
This court cleared enough cases to keep the backlog from growing last month.
At last month's pace, the 10% reduction scenario did not require extra clearances.
Share of the pending load held by the five largest district backlogs.

INVESTIGATION PATH
Start with the headline pressure, then inspect districts, snapshot movement, comparisons, and citation-ready exports for Rajasthan.
01
Sort by backlog, clearance pace, typical wait, or file-clear gap to find the first pressure signal worth inspecting.
Open district workspace02
Compare the two most recent published snapshots when history is available, so a one-month change does not get lost in the table.
Open movers03
Use the district page for history, caveats, citations, downloadable CSVs, and the metric definitions behind each number.
Inspect top district04
Use the public data, API, and press kit instead of raw capture files or unpublished runs.
Open press kitA district lands here when its backlog, its waiting time, or its pace of work is out of line with the rest of the state. These are signals for closer inspection, not findings.

Each bar is a previously published statewide snapshot. It shows how the backlog has moved across publication dates, not a continuously refreshed surface.
NyaayWatch is an independent view of public court aggregates. This state page covers Rajasthan. The national homepage lives at /, and the switcher links 35 other approved lower-court pages. It publishes reviewed snapshots instead of a continuously refreshed surface, so citizens, reporters, and civic groups can inspect the numbers, cite them, and ask sharper questions.
