Why do we have to bring US into our issues? Can't we think of our own ideas too?

"There were 40,822 civil cases; 30, 197 criminal cases; 35563 motions and 20, 258 fundamental rights enforcement applications pending at the end of the Legal Year."

Although the number of Supreme Court justices has remained the same for well over a century, the number of court of appeals judges has more than doubled since 1950, and the number of district court judges has increased more than three-fold in that period.[15] In addition, some district court judges serve on more than one court at a time.

With 75 judges currently on its bench, it means each judge, on the average, has over 1,700 cases to handle.

The Federal High Court currently has over 128,000 cases in its dockets across its divisions nationwide, the Chief Judge of the court, John Tsoho, said on Thursday.

With 75 judges currently on its bench, it means a judge on the average has over 1,700 cases to handle.

Mr Tsoho who spoke during the the special court session to mark the commencement of the Federal High Court's new 2021/2022 legal year in Abuja, acknowledged how loaded judge's dockets had become since the COVID-19 pandemic was brought under control last year.

While giving a breakdown of cases on the court's docket, the Chief Judge said, "The 2020/2021 legal year officially closed in July, 2021.

"Within that year, (i.e September 2020 - June, 2021), a total of 8, 309 cases were filed.

"There were 40,822 civil cases; 30, 197 criminal cases; 35563 motions and 20, 258 fundamental rights enforcement applications pending at the end of the Legal Year."

"The total number of cases disposed of during that year was 6, 915 cases; with a total of 128, 234 pending at the end of the Legal Year," he added.

He noted that after the improvement in the control of the coronavirus, "more and more cases were filed and the dockets of the judges became enormously loaded."

Mr Tsoho, however, assured that with the appointment of new judges almost completed, "the problems would be tackled headlong."

He restated his "resolve to enhance effective administration of justice, welfare of judges and staff."

To actualise the goal, he said, "several practice directions were issued to ensure seamless and robust administration of justice."

He said despite the low budgetary allocations to the judiciary and the Federal High Court in particular, "the training and retraining of judges and staff have continued."

Ur uncle decide to forge a certificate for u and then secured the job for u.

Will you accept it?

There’s some massive breaking news from the Gauteng High Court on Wednesday morning – and former President Jacob Zuma has been ordered to return to jail, after the decision to award him medical parole was rejected.

BREAKING: JACOB ZUMA WILL RETURN TO JAIL

The courts have ruled that the initial decision, shrouded in controversy, was an ‘unlawful act’ that needed to be set aside. The ruling now declares that Zuma’s medical parole is null and void, and he must be incarcerated once more. The legal challenge, filed by the DA, has been a successful one.

On top of that, the Department of Correctional Services says the 79-year-old MUST serve the full length of his sentence, and the three months he’s spent out of prison DOES NOT count as time served.

UNLUCKY FOR UBABA: MEDICAL PAROLE OFFER WITHDRAWN

The verdict is a stinging rebuke of the questionable process that led to Jacob Zuma walking free from prison. Msholozi, who was jailed after contravening the Commissions Act by refusing to attend the State Capture Commission, had initially been given a 15-month prison sentence back in July.

However, he barely spent a month behind bars before he was transferred to a prison hospital, and shortly afterwards, his former comrade Arthur Fraser pulled some strings to secure his release on medical parole.

That contentious decision, however, has now been reversed, with the final judgment reading:

“The decision of the First Respondent, Arthur Fraser, to place the third Respondent on medical parole, taken on 5 September 2021, is reviewed, declared unlawful, and set aside.”

“It is hereby directed that the third Respondent be returned to the custody of the Department of Correctional Services to serve out the remainder of his sentence of imprisonment.”

“The time [Jacob Zuma] was out of jail on medical parole should not be counted for the fulfilment of the Third Respondent’s sentence of 15 months imposed by the Constitutional Court.”

Great development!

I hope this will check their extortion on the roads

southernbelle:
This will definitely boost their morale. One of the notable demands during the #EndSARS protests was to enhance police welfare so that they are not so vicious to fellow citizens.

DubaiLandLord1:
I blame a lot of mushroom parties we have in Nigeria for this. There is no better or serious alternative to APC and PDP.

You won't know some parties are existing till election is close

Crusadee:
That's why governors will go to any extent to make sure that state assemblies have no autonomy, 8th National assembly gave them a full autonomy but unfortunately the laws provides that 2/3 of the state assemblies must passed their own autonomy but state governors pump them money in Ghana must goes to the make sure that they don't sign their own autonomy and unfortunately they couldn't make up to 2/3 that sing up their own autonomy, that's why gov keep cashing out large nothing anyone can do.

Wetin concern us since no government in Nigeria

helinues:
Imagine question...

Wakaing jare

helinues:
And they have been rubber stamping all those unnecessary loans as they are independent right?

helinues:
Are senate and Reps independent currently?

helinues:
It's because they are under the cover of the governor.

State assemblies are not independent just like the Local government

SPEAKER of Borno State House of Assembly,Hon. Abdulkarim Lawan, has explained that state assemblies don’t override governors’ vetoes on bills because legislators don’t want fight with state governors.

He, however,expressed frustration over inability of state governors to assent to private bills passed by the legislature, asking stakeholders to begin to engage the state chief executives for change of attitudes to that effect.

The legislator spoke, in Abuja,at a retreat for members of Borno State House of Assembly on Violence Against Persons Prohibition,VAPP,bill in Abuja,organised by a civil society organisation, Women Advocates Research and Documentation Centre,WARDC and funded by the United Nations and the Embassy of Netherlands.

He promised that the Borno House of Assembly would critically debate the bill and ensure its quick passage even as he appealed to stakeholders to prevail on governors to assent to the bill when passed by lawmakers.

Hear him: “When you pass a private bill such as this, governors would not likely give assent to the bill. This is the complaint we always receive from our colleagues in other states.

“For instance, the current assembly in Borno has passed about 25 bills, 20 are executive bills while five are private bills. But, only the 20 executive bills have been assented by the governor even as he promised to assent to the remaining five. We also have problems vetoing bills in order to avoid fracas with the executives.”
