Among these, 3,009 were old criminal miscellaneous cases and 400 were old writ cases. The criminal motion benches handled the criminal cases, while the writ motion benches resolved the writ cases on the same day.

According to court sources, since the start of this special program aimed at clearing long-pending cases, a total of 18,181 old criminal miscellaneous cases and 5,968 old writ cases have been resolved over five working days, one day each week. This brings the total number of disposed cases to 24,149.
